marc_leclerc Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Trip: Fraser Valley Rock Climbing - A Picture TR - Date: 5/19/2009 Trip Report: I heard a complaint about there being a lack of new climbing TR's on CC recently. I figured all my cragging is pretty boring stuff but I decided to try and up the hype by posting some pics and short stories from the past couple months. For the past couple months i have been climbing a lot at the Harrison Bluffs and Nicolum Knob in Hope. I've cleaned stuff on the Up To Here Wall.. the Change Room Wall and the East Wall in Harrison and Dru and I put up a new line in Hope a while back... I spent some time bouldering in Harrison and at the Old Hope Boulders too... Le Predateur V6 Battle of Five Armies - V4 Rendezvous With Rama - V3 Change Up - 5.10a - Harrison Bluffs Root Picker - 5.8 - Harrison Bluffs Tubby and His Pal - 5.11+ or 5.12a? Harrison Bluffs Bel-Air 3p - 5.10+ A0 or 5.11 (I freed the bolt ladder) - Harrison Highway 12 - 3p 5.10a - Nicolum Knob, Hope First Blood - 5.6 - Nicoum Knob, Hope Life on a Chain - 5.11d (ish) Nicolum Knob, Hope I tried for the FA of this but fell off on the redpoint crux times in a row.. Land Down Under - 5.10a - Nicolum Knob, Hope I went to Squamish for a day and climbed at the base of the Grand then met pro climbers Matt and Steve at the cacodaemon boulder and 'soloed' above a net they rigged... sweet stuff Apron Strings Exasperator - 5.10c Net Soloing Photo Attack!!! The route is called Young Blood - 5.13a Thats all I got for now... hope that helps get you a little stoked.. Quote
JBo6 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Being good at climbing is aid? Seriously though, looks pretty damn cool, something to think about while writing a crummy scientific report. Thanks for the post. Quote
cbcbd Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Good stuff, Marc. Can those dudes help me set up a net under Luna's NF for me? Thanks Quote
marc_leclerc Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Good stuff, Marc. Can those dudes help me set up a net under Luna's NF for me? Thanks Salmon fishing net.... industrial strength bungy.... crap to anchor from and your good to go.. its surprisingly simple. Quote
LostCamKenny Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Deep-water soloing minus the deep water - I suppose when you've just got to go ropeless this is the way to do it! Its nice to see fewer ass shots of someone as they are placing gear. Great top-down view! Quote
Jens Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Marc, thanks for the picture TR. I'd like to see more rock climbing photo TR's like the one you've posted. A lot of rock jocks don't even check this site, but I'm sure they'd like the circus net pics. Is that net still up? I'd love to get on those old J.Sandford routes ropeless. Great TR! Quote
TamaraSlade Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Its nice to see fewer ass shots of someone as they are placing gear. Great top-down view! My skills, Thank-you very much! Quote
pinner Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Nice work Marc. The video of Matt and Steve on the net is awesome - Matt showed it at a filmfest night last year: check this out too on Matt's blog: http://climblife.blogspot.com/2007/08/bugaboo-link-up-record.html Quote
