Slhanay Rock climbing 29 routes in crag

Deep Impact is an extension of 'Halley’s Comet', a classic 60 meter splitter finger crack located on the left side of Dog Wall that was established by Joe Turley and Ted Marks in 1985. Deep Impact links several buttresses providing a well-protected quality crack line in a more quiet area in Squamish. Long splitter cracks, comfortable ledges, and excellent views make for a great day of rock climbing. Source Squamish Climbing Magazine

One of the more travelled routes at Slihany.

P1-2:

follow an older crack climb called Eagels' Domain, with a gear anchor on a small ledge mid-pitch. Alternately you can link the pitches with a 70m rope, or simul-climb the easy start.

P3:

Climb an easy slab up to the striking corner above, some awkward and reachy moves get you established on a small ledge. Then a short layback or technical stemming will allow you to crawl over the lip. A committing step up allows you to traverse the slab left, and around the corner to the anchors.

P4:

climb the low 5th slab left then up towards the tree, and a set of anchors.

P5/6:

Puzzle your way through the corners, and face cracks. don't go into this pitch expecting a burly fight, but a slow methodical puzzle with good rests. Alternately there is a good ledge 1/2 way up you can build a gear anchor on.

Rap in face/slab climb on the grey face, climbers right of Pipeline. If you've climbed a route on Slhanay and still have some energy and skin left on your finger tips, this is a fun and engaging pitch. Easily top roped from the same bolts you rap in on, or pull the rope and commit to a mildly run-out route that sits somewhere between slab and face climbing.

The largest corner on the cliff, visible from anywhere in Squamish. Starts up Birds of Prey, stepping right to the base of the corner at 55m. Pitch 3 can be split in two with chains at 25m if needed.

Top 100 in the Squamish select guide book, and well worth that status.

P1; start up wide corner crack, trend left on thin finger locks and crimps before making a difficult move into the vertical crack. (.10d)

P2; follow low angle corner to gear belay at base of obvious layback corner. (.7)

P3; climb prominent corner using laybacks and stems. Crux is protected by a bolt. Either runout to the chains or fiddly, hard to place gear. (.10C)

P4; 2 bolts protect the overhanging boulder problem straight off the belay. Trend up and right to belay and top out. (.10C)

Starts up corner crack to right of bolted start of Godforsaken Land. Alternate finish goes at 10c by heading up and left across slab on fourth pitch to join The Great Game.
