bigwalling Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I'm looking for info on a route called Straight White Male V 5.11d A4. Andrew Boyd did the first ascent. I am wondering where it is in Squamish? I'm assuming it's on the Chief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Nothing in the Squamish guidebook, but you probably new that. Maybe in the one with the yellow pages supplement at the back? Try calling Climb-On in Squish, (604) 892-2243. They have the new route book and can be very helpful. The climbing counter at MEC has one too.

Dru Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Its probably near Negro Lesbian and Black Dyke, I would think from the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwalling Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I got an email from andrew and he said that the route starts on Java Jive and has techincal climbing on it. So Dru was right about the area which it was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miloshk_Antonopov Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 5,11D is being one step below russian level of technical beginning at 5,12. A4 is mark for russian level of technical and is fine for beginning climber in squamish. i am being in squamish area everyday but am not hearing much of this climb although i am probably already done it and did not now.

bigwalling Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Well he said it had "incredibly technical climbing". If you look at some other lines of his you will understand that the climb is harder than other A4s around it. His other A4 wall route requires 40+ heads(mostly #0's and 1's)! I was more just telling people where the route is, since no one knew when I asked the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necronomicon Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Maybe no one can locate the route because they are looking for the non-existant "Squamish Chief" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
