Trip Report:

Will Surber and I just got back from a 3 day trip to the Nesakwatch/Rexford area just east of Chilliwack and Mt. Slesse. One of Canada's best kept secrets....amazing high camp and climbing right outside your tent door.

Lovely pictures and beta as always. It's such a nice area. What's the status of the webbing etc. on those routes? A few years ago on Rexford (2012?) a couple of us replaced everything (it was all terrible) and chopped a stupid amount of webbing and cord. Are things generally in better shape these days?

Webbing looked good everywhere we rapped, no big webbing nests as I recall. It is such a nice area!
