Ascents in Burgers and Fries having Beta

Crux is tricky. Nice lead by Locky!

Tricky opening sequence, then a bunch of 5.9 moves along the way.

Two potential starts. I started on the left as shown in the guidebook. Two falls.

The tricky start was pretty cool.

Nice Lead good gear!

Nice fun crack got to use my Big cam thats exciting

Nice crack! Couldn't get off the ground without pulling on my first piece of gear though

This was really nice. Good day out to give my shoes a good burn.

Nice easy line, good gear placements. There were some 5.7s that felt a bit harder than this.

Book lists this as 5.7 -- if you discount the opening moves (e.g. use a cheater rock, maybe), it would be 5.7. But the opening sequence felt as hard, though not as long, as the opening moves on "Nookie Monster".

Thought this was the 5.10 and were very impressed with ourselves. Lol no. Nick aided the start and I think I used some top rope tension so logging 5.8.

A really hard 5.10 start followed by much easier climbing above.

Several attempts on the first move off the ground but didn't fall or take on the route.

this crack is irritating and reverse flares at points. Decent length though

Easiest way up this section of rock.

Easy going, except for a couple 5.7 moves of the ledge mid-way. Climb developer was at the base chatting with us -- he'd been looking to put up a 5.6 climb, and came pretty close.

A noticeably harder 5.8 than "Bilbo Baggins". Actually some moves on it, and well-protected though not obviously so from the ground.

Rated 5.9 in the guidebook

Awkward and harder than it looked

first trad lead

Good, if slightly damp. Topped out via hand crack on Smeagol.

Fun. Great hand crack at the top

First climb at Squamish. Protected and climbed well.

Weird fist corner crack start. Need a 4inch cam really, my 3.5 just about worked. Lovely finish up a finger crack.

Trad onsight under pouring rain. Felt proud.

Time to get back into this trad thing. I like this crack. Mostly because you don't have to climb the crack.

Great climb for my first lead in Canada

Felt really casual -- not like a 5.8 at all. I wouldn't say any moves harder than 5.7 on it.

Soft 5.8 -- only a couple moves of 5.8, right off the ground, if you start on the right-side start.

My first birthday climb of the day! Very good gear and amazing hand jams.

First lead using trad gear!

Hardest pure trad lead to date - fantastic jamming up top! Bomber placements all the way (largish cams)

Great when you don't forget the larger cams for the top section nice jamming. Anna led this too.

5.9 route (variation) to the right of Bilbo Baggins. Shares the finish with Bilbo Baggins.

I loved the double hand jam that I used near the top.

Left start. Wide number 3 section in the middle, fun.

Booom. Right start this time. Committed to a few moves in the wide section.

Al wants the world to know this route is called "Sonya's Crack"

Fingerlock crux was dripping wet... slightly spooky but good to pull through.

Started on the thinner cracks to the right, good crack climbing for the grade.

good climb, the top is pretty polished.

It looks like a block of rock came off on this route sometime in 2022. It makes the route more interesting.

More friction slab

clean. cool route

Started on the right and the moved up to the first bolt. Struggled with the move from first bolt to second bolt.

Gosh slabs are heady. Lotta fun though.

Friction slab! Falling (even on top rope) is still terrifying on slab

Thin slab -- slipped and weighted the rope a few times. Maybe with sharper edging shoes, could have edged instead of smearing.

Pretty spicy.

Fun, mellow ramble up to a jammy finish.

Quite trick. Since I was on TR, crazy Al go me to stay away from the logical crack for gear and try directly up the face. Goes at .10c as well.
