Ascents in Canada having Beta

Thought I was on something else so I mostly climbed off route. Went around to the left on P1 (5.8). Climbed most of P2 but traversed over to the left before the final moves lowering the grade slightly. Worked on the crux sequence of P3 (BEAUTIFUL!). Aid climbed 10-12m after the crux and freed the rest. Rappelled from the anchor of P3

Apron Strings into Grandwall, into bellygood ledge. Took 3 falls on Perry's lieback and a rest on the last hard pitch.

A rockies adventure. A large route with an alpine feel for sure. Pitch fields are logged below as we linked them (as recommended by Andy's original topo description). I didn't feel the climbing was that sustained with the crux sections being quite short. The rock quality is mostly poor with some absolutely terrible sections requiring thoughtful climbing and gear placement. Both 10d cruxes are on average rock however the protection is good (micro cams for the first 10d section and bolts for the second). I ripped a shoe-box sized piece of rock off on pitch 12 after climbing a 5.9 crack filled with so much dirt and vegetation I only got a single piece of gear in the only section that wasn't filled with crap which thankfully held solid (#3 camalot) otherwise it would have been the ride of a lifetime. Apart from that small incident I managed to onsight the route which I was happy with. We decided to walk off the ridge which took about 2hrs to return to the car making for a total of 13hrs car to car. All in all a fun day out however I wouldn't recommend this route. One and done for me.

First 2 pitches are cruisy. Crux move over the bulge is spicey, especially when you skip the judge rails. Rapped down at pitch 3 due to weather and time

Great route. Lots of variety

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.

Great climb with Dom and Mat. Took 6h round trip. We climbed a few variants by accident.

P1 we climbed up another slab on the right and traversed back over to the anchor. P2 we climbed past the intended anchor into the left variant of P3 P3 we climbed up the slab to downclimb traverse the slab back to the anchor P4 left variant, past the anchor, gear belay in the wider section P5 short pitch to the anchor below the bolted slab variant of P6 P6 horrible slab of doom (took a fall while seconding) P7-8-9 were on track

backed off due to a party ahead making very slow progress on the P2 roof.

Accidently linked the p2 5.8 of boardline and strayed right at the ledge into blazing saddles p2, getting another 5.10a pitch ticked off. Was not a good idea, luckly it was easy enough to rap off a tree back the ledge, Jeff linked the final few meters of the 5.8 above the pitch with the next two pitches - making for an ultrapitch of arete, bolted and bottomless squeeze chimney peaking into desperate slab with hectic rope drag.

Climbed the tree start to get to angel crack to free an old cam. Rappelled back down after.

Good climbing overall, the layback on pitch 4 was the standout pitch

fantastic route in a stellar setting! i got off route on P11 and while trying to reverse my moves had a crystal break resulting in a fall.

Great climb, but pitch 4 is a weird one.

We actually didn't climb the standard last two pitches. I lead a trad climbing just following a small crack (5.6 Trad) on the left of the route and Justine lead a big crack in on the left of the last pitch (5.8 Trad ).

Great climb, second pitch felt pretty easy, or it was the pressure from it starting to rain while climbing it.

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.

Had to bail out since my seconds freaked out at the traverse pitch

Linked pitch one and half of pitch two, Ryan Parker linked the second half of pitch two with pitch three.

Absolute mammoth climb. 17 pitches and over 500m of scrambling. This climb had a great mix of everything, soloing, aiding and simul-climbing. This route is long, fun and a great all day adventure.

Gets a mega classic from me for the variety and unique moves - not very often you can chimney and layback at the same time. Great climbing high above the hordes on the apron and the highway noise, and you get a chance to see people crushing on the Prow Wall.

Took a #4 but couldn't find a placement on P6 (I looked), still salty about dragging it up all the way to the top. Gear is good on the climb and the two bolts on the crux pitch makes it feel much easier than other 5.9s. Thought the whole climb was soft for the grade.

Best route I've climbed on 'le Dôme' so far. First pitch is a stellar 5 star climb in itself. Good rack management is required for this long pitch which offers constant exposure and difficulty. The remainder of the climb offers great climbing interrupted by a short "not so great" section. P2 and P3 can be linked but careful rope drag management is required, as well as being very comfortable at the grade.

Crazy busy day, planned to do 'Long Time No See' but ended up on Calculus Direct to avoid a large crowd but still hit traffic at the top belay of the second pitch of calculus. Then headed up 'South Arete' (again to avoid the crowds). Then made our way up the last 2 pitches of 'Long Time No See' before heading back down.

Mostly Cruisy line with some technical and varied climbing. Lost friction and slipped a few meters off the ground to lose the onsight.

September rain climb. Went the day after rain. Stone was still wet at a lot of places. Some brown moss still around adding some difficulty. Flagging tape makes approach easy. P5 is very easy, but we still made it with belay since it was slippery. P6 has 3 bolts, but does not require any gear. The hike down could be considered more dangerous than this pitch. P1,P5 and P6 would be a nice lead for kids. Well protected.

Dave's first multi-pitch, alternated leads. Second pitch felt more like 5.7. All in all, quality climbing all the way up.

Linked 1-2 and 4-5 with a 70m easily and a few alpine draws helped. Would probably link 2-3 next time as the stance between 1-2 is a big ledge and 2-3 just a small foot-width ledge. Apparently 4-6 goes in 67m as a linkup but could be tight.

Started up at around 6:30 pm for a sunset climb, finished up at the top in the dark. This is definitely going to be a classic! Linked pitches 2,3, and 4 with an 80 m rope, then also linked pitches 7 and 8. The slab traverse of pitch 6 was a personal favorite.
