university wall question

[susan]

A friend and I are thinking of aiding University Wall at Squamish. Most of what we have heard indicates that there is a bivy. Does anyone know if there is a ledge to bivy on or do we need to haul a portaledge. Thanks. Other beta also welcome, especially if it is recent.

The classic Squamish solutions to this dilemma are:

 

1) Fix and sleep on the ground

2) Climb it in a day

3) Bivi in the tree.

Dru, please elaborate on tree bivy option.

Fern can elaborate on the tree bivi cause she actually has been there.

[tanstaafl]

thanks; I'll harass Fern.

I wouldn't look at the tree bivi as much of an option. It would be an uncomfortable night, there isn't much room there at all, and none of it is flat. If you are hauling anyways you may as well haul a ledge.

thanks Fern, that's good to know.
