susan Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 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.

Dru Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 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.
