billcoe Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 A little “variety” eh? Nice shot of “house of pain” in there on the right. Yeah I listed Ozone instead of Yos…..its 11 hours closer with no approach. Yup, nice call: Variety 5.10. Gear. Wired stoppers and mostly small cams to 2" although there is a short offwidth section where an optional #5 cam might be desired. Start to the Left of the crack by the dihedral and use your full arsenal of face, stemming, offwidth and hand crack technique to ascent to the top. FA 6-14-07 Leisure time Rappel. Looks like someone ran it out on the FA up there. Probably a high trust in loose blocks and Aliens:-) PS, I did broom and shovel off House of Pain later. Doing the same to 2trad4U now with that glorious crack to the right...it's a frikkan dirt ball disaster till I get back up there at least 3 more times.

fenderfour Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I've got a real boner for Squamish these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Squamish during may, july, aug, and sept is pretty unbeatable. Steep, slabby, sport, trad, long routes, aid climbs, splitter cracks that never end... it's got it all! Plus generally very easy descents, low commitment, no need for tons of gear, beautiful scenery, well-protected and solid rock, and interesting routes. However, for the size of the crag and approaches, I think both main walls at index are stellar in the 5.10-5.12 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Canadian Rockies. Yeah I know the rock is scary, but climbing some of the routes there is fucking rad. At the summit I've said, "thank god I never have to come back," a number of times, but I'm still happy with all the stuff I've done there.

Mal_Con Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Not a whole lot as the batteries are dead by the time you get to the rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 the Himalayas are cool for sure, but they are harder to get to for most North Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I too miss the beautiful sandstone at the New and have enjoyed going on vacation to scare myself silly in the Canadian Rockies. But if I had to pick a favorite climbing area I'd have to say my backyard. The rock sucks, for 6 months out of the year you can count on nasty windslab and there are hurricane-strength winds at least every 2 weeks... but the trailhead is 5 minutes from my front door, I go there every night after work and I'll never grow tired of it.

sobo Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Lightning Dome, SF of the Clearwater River. 'Nuff said. The Rock: It's clean granite (granodiorite, actually), bolts on the steep and slabby, and abundant gear placements for the flakes and cracks. Most routes are a combo of both. It's got many multi-pitch all day outings and several one-pitch wonders. Descents are easy, and there's virtually no approach (some routes go right from the white line on the side of the road, 15 minutes is the max uphill climb). The routes are all quite varied and interesting, requiring one to use many different techniques on any given route. Smearing, edging, foot camming, off widths, hand and finger jamming, dime-edge fingernail holds, pinches, underclings, au chevals, you name it. Vantage, this ain't! There's years (dare I say a lifetime) worth of FA potential for the hardier souls - acres of undeveloped rock abounds. The Setting: The scenery is amazingly stunning, there's a cool river for apres climb skinny dipping, and the place has goats scampering all about, eagles screaming overhead as they soar on the thermals, and wolves howl at night. The whole place smells of Poderosa Pine. The Amenities: The camping is plentiful and free, no fucking NW Forest Pass or WSDFW parking stickers required, a precast shitter a quarter mile from the crag and at every campground and they're all well-stocked with TP (a fact E-rock could appreciate), cell phones don't work, beer and ice is available without leaving the canyon, and best of all IT AIN'T THE LEAST BIT CROWDED!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 My fav climbing area is the Coast Mountains of BC. Trivia: The Coast Plutonic Complex is the largest exposed body of plutonic rock in the whole world. Some of it is even solid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
