Ascents by Noah Boudreau-Richard

Linked the chimney with the second pitch of "Aiguille". Very nice climbing. The first half of the chimney can actually be decently protected.

Still feels hard even after all those years! One try to find the holds and moves, one try to send it!

This was my first real trad lead, felt good to come back and climb it.

Worked all of the moves again. Had to find a new sequence around the crux. Managed to get through the run out slabby end this time though.

Good finger warmup

Flashed up to the first crux with Étienne's beta. Worked the roof moves a little and bailed at the clip after the roof. Mentally exhausting. Hopefully, I can get back on it soon.

Very nice climb. Took the alternate first pitch. Last pitch is not that great. Would rappel after the 3rd next time.

Worked on the first four bolts. Didn't like how most of the climbing was done on the left side of the arete while it is bolted on the right. Bailed on the fourth.

Way better than the 5.6 classic on the right in my opinion.

Still a classic!

Took 3 tries. Big committing moves on jugs.

Went around left at the first roof. I don't know if it would go straight. Took 2 falls at the second roof.

Started raining when I took off. Took a fall 3/4 of the way up.

A great "adventurous" climb. Route finding is tricky but ultimately all leads to easier climbing. Did the 5.8 variant at the end.

Little slower this time: 23m31s

49m Last pitch needs its bolt back...

46m Way better climb than the name suggests!

1h03m

Last pitch is not worth it. If it had a bolted anchor it would be. Bushwacking through the trees is a pain and overpowers the joy of the first few moves of the pitch.

Another quick run up this climb. New record: 18m25s

Great route. First pitch is probably the nicest crack in the area. Second and third are good too. On the last pitch, when you get to a big detached block, look left for the anchor. Going up will get you stuck!

Simul climbed in one pitch with Étienne at night. 34m52s base to top.

First attempt: Spent 40 mins working the moves up to the bolt after the crux. Didn't find the right sequence in the the thin face/slab at the end.

Second attempt: Fell at the first bolt, got back on right away, linked to the move before the roof. Got back on straight away but didn't pull the crux.

Definitely can be done. Beautiful route, offers many beta options depending on height and preferred style!

Nice technical moves but quite reachy.

Diserves more stars! The opening sequence is not given but very nice. The rest is just cnady!

Traversed the river via the cable. Hiked up to the lake on 27th. Summited and hiked back to the lake on 28th. Hiked back down and traversed back on 29th.

Mostly route finding around and across snow slopes to scrambling and two pitches of roped climbing. Good rock. Then scrambling to the top. Lost the hike down the trail and ended up doing two raps (60m and 30m).

P1 (5.8) Onsight. 30m. 1 fixed pin to bolted anchor. P2 (5.7) Onsight. 8m. Bolted anchor.

Did the 5.10d straight finish.

The first few moves are wonderful (through the chimney) then ok climbing to a bolted anchor. To climb in three pitches: Keep climbing and build a gear anchor below the obvious crack with a nose (pinocchio). Second pitch is great and rejoins the last pitch of 'La Directe de l'ours'

Didn't climb the last pitch, having just come down from 'La Directe de l'ours'

Had done the first half and ended up off route last time.

Managed to not get lost this time! Last pitch is simply wonderful.

Tricky route finding! Especially P2!

Pretty consistent at the grade. Technical moves feel like 5.8 but the angle brings it back down to 5.6

One chopped bolt at the last move of P4 feels like it should of stayed.

Link pitches! With a 70m:

1. 1-2-3

2. 4-5-6 71m pitch

3. 7-8 we went straight up the roof (5.7)

4. 9-10

Lots of opportunity for protection everywhere. Climb where you want!

Linked St. Vitus into Memorial crack into Squamish buttress

Linked P1-2 easily. rope stretch with 60m Linked P3-4 The crux pitch got me. worth bringing an extra .4 or .5

Anchor the belayer to protect the start. Just in case. Crux is the tricky slippery stemming near the start.

Way more fun than the original pitch to access baseline ledge.

Very fun. Sustained at the grade. Bring large cams

one tricky move. It's all about the feet!

Didn't unlock the sequence straight through. Apparently using the right side wall is off.

Decent climb wandering between other climbs. Route finding involved. The best pitches are the last three. Crux was the last few moves of P4.

It's also on that climb that I leaned SR means standard rack and not single rack. And Squamish SR is a few more cams than a single rack... Made it interesting.

Now open. I don't know how to remove the tag though

Took a fall at first and 3rd bolt.

Good climbing, sharp holds.

Worth it all the way!

Linked 'Banana Peel' into 'Bommstick Crack' into 'Squamish Buttress' into 'The Butt Light'.

6h up, 1h30 down.

Approach shoes all the way.

Linked 1+2, 3+4, then did a short scramble pitch to base of butt light (5.9). From there, I ran a long pitch to a tree just below the 5.8 chimney.
