Smoke Bluffs Pixie's Corner | ||||||
5.11a | ★★ Weiner in the Bun - with Gregory | 20m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Second shot. Slipped off first time going past last bolt. Pretty intimidating bolt spacing!

Papoose | ||||||
5.10b | ★ The Scenario - with Soren | 40m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Went the wrong way at the crux and fell. Solid moves, but keep left on the small holds instead of trying for the layaway flake up right too early.
|

Murrin Park Cereal Killer | ||||||
5.10c | ★★ Captain Crunch - with deon | 9m, 5 | Average | |||
Could be better than we thought, as 50% of the holds were wet. A lot or the rock is partially rotted. Quite a different start, followed by lots of pumpy sidepulls
|
||||||

Murrin Park Marc Andre’s Wall | ||||||
5.10b 5.10c | ★ The Marc of Excellence - with deon | 20m, 9 | ★ Good | |||
A bit hard to stay off the arete until the point it actually crosses. The rock on the upper half is really cool.
|

Murrin Park The Murrin Surrounds Seal Cove | ||||||
5.9 | ★★ Swept Away | 20m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great and well protected early lead for aspiring slab climbers
|
||||||
5.10b | ★★★ Sole Mate | 20m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really fun, and relaxing slabbing. Belongs near the top of the Apron.

Murrin Park Nightmare Rock | ||||||
5.10d | ★★ The Big Barn Door - with Deon | 8m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Jumped on this to say we actually climbed something. Really contrived, but still fun.

The Chief Above Bellygood | ||||||
5.10b | ★ Upper Black Dyke - with Alice | 150m, 31 | ★ Good | |||
Final pitch only as part of Stairway to Heaven. A little dirty, and soaked on R side, but didn't touch anything wet until the top. A little chossy.
|
||||||
5.9 | ★★ Traverse of the Gods - with Alice | 55m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Did as one pitch. Awesome feature, well named!

The Chief The Bulletheads Bulletheads South | ||||||
5.10c | ★★ Xenolith Dance - with Alice | 45m | ★★ Very Good | |||
P1 only. Good lead by Alice. But it's still not a xenolith!
|
||||||
5.10a 5.10c | ★ Chassè Right - with Alice | 45m | ||||
p2 (10a) only, accessed by traversing from Xenolith Dance anchors.
|
||||||

The Chief Penthouse | ||||||
5.10a | ★ Mr. Ciechanowski - with Alice | 25m | Average | |||
Beware. The massive jug on the right after the roof is flexing, and will break off soon.
|
||||||
Mon 15th Oct 2018 - Squamish | ||||||
The Chief The Raven's Castle | ||||||
5.10d | ★ Whatever - with Alice | 40m | ★ Good | |||
Was meant to do Ladies First, but it was getting dark and completely missed the bolts. Progressively harder right to the top.
|
||||||
Mon 3rd Sep 2018 - Squamish | ||||||
Murrin Park Betazoid / The Milkman's Wall | ||||||
5.8 | ★★ Jugs, Not Drugs - with barb | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Fun, juggy gym climbing. Pity it's so short.
|
||||||
5.11c | ★★ Gertrude - with barb | 12m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Good fun. Steep jugs with a single V3 move at the 3rd bolt. Would deserve a star or two if it was a bit longer.
|
||||||

The Chief The Bulletheads Campground Wall | ||||||
5.11b | ★★ Varicose Veins - with Janet | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Unbelievably didn't screw it up, despite my best efforts. Crux is around bolts 3-4, with top section pretty simple.
|
||||||
Wed 23rd Aug 2017 - Squamish | ||||||
Top Shelf | ||||||
5.11b | ★★ Cursing All the Way - with Alex | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Some slopey holds mixed in with nasty crimps...Felt quite similar to Hillwood.
|
||||||

Smoke Bluffs Neat and Cool | ||||||
5.10b | ★ Raging Duck | 18m, 5 | Average | |||
Not the best gear, and not the best climb!
|
||||||
Thu 11th Aug 2016 - Squamish | ||||||
The Sanctuary The Basement | ||||||
5.11a | ★ Placebo | 9m, 4 | Average | |||
As the guide says, not the best warm-up. A pretty ugly climb, really. Nowhere near two stars!
|
||||||
5.11d | ★ Pleasure Dome | 16m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Second shot. Dyno past the 4th bolt cuts out a lots of moves. Once the sequence was figured out, was easy enough to go fast and beat the pump.
|
||||||
Thu 11th Aug 2016 - Squamish | ||||||
Shannon Falls Shannon Falls Wall | ||||||
5.11c | ★★★ Magic Carpet Ride - with Deano | 110m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Amazing. Hard to get off the ground, and a long way to the first clip, but rest of p1 fairly easy, with a harder step left at about 2/3 height. Second pitch gets 11a in the guide, but is definitely the hardest/most sustained. Awesome slabbing. p3 has a couple of hardish moves, but generally felt easier than p2. p4 fairly straight-forwards, with one slightly harder move going past the 4th(?) bolt.

Crumpit Woods Fern Hill | ||||||
5.11c | ★★ Burp the Worm - with Deano | 20m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Made me sweat, especially getting the final jug. Some pretty burly parts, but unfortunately (fortunate for me) it's not very sustained.
|
||||||
5.11a | ★ Solitary Confinment - with Deano | 22m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Followed Deano up. Very distinct cruxy moves, with a bit of reach helping towards the top.
|
||||||
5.11a | ★★ Typical Squamish - with Deano | 20m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbed after Deano. It might be dirtier than a lot of the other climbs here, but it climbs really well.

Murrin Park Petrifying Wall DOA Wall | ||||||
5.11a | ★★ Underwire | 25m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Good fun, with a thankfully good jug after the roof.
|
||||||
5.10b | ★★ Heavy Petting Action | 30m, 13 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Unexpectedly long, and climbs very well. A bit confusing right at the top, trying not to cross onto the route to the left.

Murrin Park Petrifying Wall Pleasant Pheasant Area | ||||||
5.11a | ★★★ Pleasant Pheasant - with Deano | 22m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Gets you pumped if you're unfit, but otherwise pretty simple climbing.

Crumpit Woods Fern Hill | ||||||
5.11d | ★★ Serenity Now - with Steve and Alice | 22m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
Sandbagged onto this by Steve. Has some hard moves, but main difficulty was finding all the hidden holds!
|
||||||
5.11a | ★★★ Good Times - with Steve and Alice | 25m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really fun finish.

First pitch only. Was just starting to get a bit of sun, so had to get up it quick!

Area 44 Insite Wall | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Rifle - with Barb | 26m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Some hardish moves for a 10a. Reasonably well bolted, but a fall on most of the route would be pretty shitty.

Very dodgy rock in middle section needs cleaning off when no-one's below.

The Chief The Bulletheads Bulletheads South | ||||||
5.10c | ★★ Xenolith Dance - with Deano and Alice | 45m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The features make for great fun, especially the slabby undercling traverse. Just a pity the name is misleading. There is a large phenocryst, but no xenolith!
|

Smoke Bluffs Crag X Upper Crag X | ||||||
5.10b | ★ Friction Addiction - with Deano | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Good slabbing, just short.
|
||||||
5.10c | ★ Bucky ki-yea - with Deano | 18m | Don't Bother | |||
Also placed a 0.4BD before the first bolt halfway up. Really dirty initial slab. Had to come in from the right a bit below the second bolt. Broke a footer on the first shot.

Murrin Park Up Among The Firs | ||||||
5.10d | ★★ Poster Boy - with Deano and Alice | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Getting dark, so just seconded Deano. Really good. Slabbing the start and the an awesome, delicate and technical arete to finish. Use a 2BD at the base of the arete.
|

Murrin Park Lakeside-in-the-Woods & Commonwealth | ||||||
5.10c | ★★ More Than Just a Pretty Face | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Nice, flowing moves
|

5.10d 5.11b | ★ Fearless Fraser (Unknown) | 25m, 8 | Average | |||
Bit of a one-move wonder, but nice rock.
|

Great!

Murrin Park The Murrin Surrounds The Valley of Shaddai | ||||||
5.12d | ★★★ Cliptomaniac | 35m, 14 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome! The only thing detracting from it is the ledge just after the first crux. Took about 10 tries to get the first crux near the 5th bolt, then another cruxy move near the last bolt.

Sat 27th Jun 2015 - Squamish | ||||||
Murrin Park The Murrin Surrounds The Valley of Shaddai | ||||||
5.10c | Necessary Dorsal Muscles | 8m, 3 | Average | |||
Steep. Reach to the left of the arete to get past the first bolt at 10c
|
||||||
5.10c | ★★ Gym Dandy | 18m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Did the direct start at 11a, although the top was definitely the hardest.
|
||||||

The Chief The North Walls The Sherriff's Badge | ||||||
5.11a | ★★ Quickdraw - with Steve | 55m, 16 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Deserves a couple of stars, even if it does naturally go onto the trad line next to it near the top. Excellent first pitch with a fun start and slabby arete, and then a balancy start to the second pitch.
|
||||||
Sat 12th Apr 2014 - Squamish | ||||||
The Chief The Apron Above Broadway | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Dances with Pigs | 35m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good, but definitely aware of the runouts. A long, long way to the first bolt!
|
||||||

The Chief The Apron South Apron | ||||||
5.10b | ★ A Trolls Sonnet | 10 | ★ Good | |||
Sections of glassy slab just below bolts make for more fun climbing.
|

The Chief The Apron Central Apron | ||||||
5.11b | ★ Teetering On The Brink of Madness | ★ Good | ||||
Only did first pitch (10c??), sortof by accident...And skipped to the right at the top as it was wet and slimy!

Oops! Buggered it up the first time, thinking it wasn't that bad until the halfway mark, where things suddenly hit me...

Smoke Bluffs Burgers and Fries | ||||||
5.11a | ★ Genetically Superior Neighbour | 22m | Average | |||
One hard, cruxy move past the first bolt. Did the 'original' slab start, is highly contrived
