Direct start for Calculus Crack so you don't have to start in the trees on the first two pitches of St. vitus Dance. P1: Start up passing a bolt and head toward an obvious left facing crack. Pull into the crack (crux) and continue up insecure moves to you can step right and up a flake. Gear Belay above the flake. P2: Long pitch starting up multiple flakes and continuing on easy ground to some flaring crack moves near the top. Bolted belay. | 80m, 2 | Squamish | ||
5.9 | ★★ St. Bernard p1
In order to arrive at Baseline ledge (and access St. Vitus, South Arete, etc.), one has to climb two marginal pitches in the trees. This pitch (the first pitch of St. Bernard), offers a better variation to the second pitch in the trees. It is the obvious hand crack that starts above a stump. | 20m | Squamish | ||
V6 | ★★★ Killing Me Harshly
I believe the left hold mentionned in the guidebook is gone. The logical start begin high on a slopy sidepull and a right pinch on the arete about face level. Amazing problem. | Squamish | |||

5.10c | Vector (10c variation)
p1: climb the long, 50m crack above Baseline ledge, starting just to the right of St. Vitus' Dance. Belay off of one bolt and a #1,#2, or #3 BD. (5.8) p2: Step right to access a very nice corner that is quite obvious from the Apron parking lot. (10c) At the top, step left and gear belay on St. Vitus' Dance. This is a variation to Vector -- the original line, at 5.9, goes straight up dirty cracks above the first pitch. p3-p4: Climb the last pitches of St. Vitus' Dance. With a 70m, one can link these pitches and reach the trees. | 150m, 4 | Squamish | ||

From the top of the apron take the trail towards the Squamish Buttress. P1: face climb past a small roof and one bolt, then follow broken cracks and face holds up and left to a tree anchor P2: Climb more broken cracks left towards a large ledge and belay from a tree P1 & 2 can be linked with a 70m rope. P3&4: Moderate climbing up broken 5.7 terrain. P5: climb the vertical crack over some broken terrain to a tree anchor below the white 10c corner. \ P6: Thre wicked-looking steep, white corner.

Starts to the right of Diedre, from same ledge to Horizontal crag and then follow the three bolts. All anchors are bolted except the third and 6th pitch which end big ledges with plenty of trees to choose from. You might want a couple of middle sized cams but 98% bolted, bolts are close enough to avoid big falls and just before all crux moves. Technically 6 pitches but last one its short and scrambly can be linked with a 60m to the ledge so most parties would do in 5. FA: Kevin Mclane & Susie Beliveau, 2004 | 150m, 6 | Squamish | ||
