Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Lots of mountains not far from Squamish. But damn the rock climbing up there is pretty good. Crack and DrJay and Ehmmic and DaveW should be there now. Quote

Dru Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Squamish is a spring and fall destination...it is primo alpine climbing season right now. Quote
fern Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 blackcomb already had about a foot of fresh a couple weeks ago! I predict an early season  I might head up to Squampton this weekend. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Squampton haha  Looks like Dru and I might be headed to secret location of KTK plan A ascent if weather is ok. Quote

timi Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Squish rules!!! Going up to play in a little bit. But hell, it's nice to wake up and drink a coffee and play on the internet for a little bit... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Some mixed climbs already in. Go to Can Rockies on the N side of Mt Temple there is a long route or 3 Quote
fixedPin Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Anyone done the newish 10 pitch 'Ultimate Everything Route' up there? Was thinking of going Sun./Mon. Quote
Dru Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 quote: Originally posted by fixedPin: Anyone done the newish 10 pitch 'Ultimate Everything Route' up there? Was thinking of going Sun./Mon. Â Popular nowadays. Some nice pitchs and some "slog through them" type pitches. For good fun start up Rock On. Quote
fern Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 if you don't know the way down from the centre summit then try not to get benighted. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 what's the 5.9 a0 pitch involve? i've yet to do any aid climbing ... Quote
Dru Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 it will involve typical sport climber techniques like dogging and pulling on bolts that's what A0 is - FRENCH FREE Quote
mattp Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 "the crux moves on p. 10 can be avoided by pulling on the bolts" Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 cool. so, who wants to climb this with me sunday or monday? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Ropegun the entire route then Dru and I will follow. I'll be visiting canyucker land and we might have the time. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 is that a challenge? i can lead 5.9. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I am not challenging you. Have fun. I guess since Dru already did it he wont want to. Probably climb harder than I do. Â I'll be the one dirtbaggin it in the gutter by the parking lot. Hungover Quote
fern Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 McLane apparently proclaimed the route overbolted and john Howe lamented that the bolting was 'saggy' (i.e. you can sag on the bolts at the cruxes) ... With accolades like that it is an instant classic. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 the last four times i went to squamish i had at least a couple of people rave to me about this route. apparently it's already a classic! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 You might as well move to Squamish. I think I have been rock climbing there 3 times ever. Quote

Hungover We already knew that, as your reputation precedes you. Â Sounds like you'll be at your best for yet another spectacular day in the mountains! Quote
