Sat 10th Aug 2019 - Cheakamus Canyon
The Gorge Galaxy Buttress
5.9 Star Chek - with Gregory Sport 85m, 16 Average
Not that great. Very nice setting, but the climbing isn't amazing considering the other quality routes that grade in the general area, and some sections of bolting are just plain weird.

 
Thu 8th Aug 2019 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Pixie's Corner
5.11a Weiner in the Bun - with Gregory Sport 20m, 3 Good
Second shot. Slipped off first time going past last bolt. Pretty intimidating bolt spacing!

 
Sat 3rd Aug 2019 - Squamish
Papoose
5.10b The Scenario - with Soren Sport 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.

 
Tue 2nd Jul 2019 - Banff
Sunshine Rock Paddock Wall Right
5.7 Steeplechase P1 - with Janet and Shauna Sport 12m, 3 Average
5.10b Steeplechase P2 - with Janet and Shauna Sport 25m, 7 Good
Enjoyable, just a pity it's so short. Been so long since I climbed on limestone...

 
5.10d Dark Horse - with Janet and Shauna Sport 17m, 7 Average
Not exactly sure why, but I didn't find this one all that much fun.

 
5.11a Secretariat - with Janet and Shauna Sport 13m, 6 Good
Thin moves at the top, and spent most of the time trying to find the holds. Just as well it isn't too steep!

 
Tue 2nd Jul 2019 - Banff
Sunshine Rock Rathaus
5.11a 5.10d Mountain Even (Mountain Aven) - with Janet Sport 12m, 6 Very Good
5.11a The Jaxx - with Janet Sport 12m, 6 Very Good
Short, but fun and definitely a little less obvious than Mountain Aven

 
Sat 20th Apr 2019 - Squamish
Murrin Park Cereal Killer
5.10c Captain Crunch - with deon Sport 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

 
Sat 20th Apr 2019 - Squamish
Murrin Park Marc Andre’s Wall
5.10b 5.10c The Marc of Excellence - with deon Sport 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.

 
Sun 14th Apr 2019 - Cypress Mountain
Arbutus Groove
5.10b One-ended Rope Sport 7m, 3 Average
Would rate a 'good' if it was 3x longer and not bolted.

 
5.11a Facial Expression Sport 7m, 3 Crap
Contrived and shitty, but the only other thing that was remotely dry.

 
Fri 12th Apr 2019 - Squamish
Murrin Park The Murrin Surrounds Seal Cove
5.9 Swept Away Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Great and well protected early lead for aspiring slab climbers

 
5.10b Sole Mate Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Really fun, and relaxing slabbing. Belongs near the top of the Apron.

 
Sun 7th Apr 2019 - Cedar Park (John's Family Conservancy)
Main Wall
5.10c Black Lung - with Ian Saunders Sport 30m, 11
Really fun climbing. Fairly sustained lower half, but with a very obvious crux section. Upper part mostly 10a-ish, but super fun. Turkey vultures cruising around waiting for something to happen.

 
5.11a Rat's Tooth - with Ian Saunders Sport 18m, 6 Good
Screwed up feet just after the crux and popped off.

 
Sun 7th Apr 2019 - Cedar Park (John's Family Conservancy)
Gomer
5.7 Give Me Face - with Ian Saunders Sport 24m, 10 Very Good
Sat 6th Apr 2019 - Skaha
Raven's Castle
5.11c 5.12a Trad-jectory - with Ian Saunders Sport 18m Classic
Awesome little line. A real pity it got bolted, but I admit to using the bolts... Pumped out just after clipping the last bolt - 1 move before the jug...Next time!

 
Sat 6th Apr 2019 - Skaha
Another Buttress
5.10d 5.11b Tilted Glass - with Ian Saunders Sport 16m, 4 Good
Thin and tenuous, but not too painful on the tips.

 
5.7 Hair on a G String - with Ian Saunders Sport 16m, 5 Good
Actually felt like climbing.

 
Sat 6th Apr 2019 - Skaha
The Fortress
5.10d Slices of Quince - with Ian Saunders Sport 22m Classic
Really good climbing, going over the classic Skaha polished bulge at the top.

 
Sun 24th Mar 2019 - Squamish
Murrin Park Nightmare Rock
5.10d The Big Barn Door - with Deon Sport 8m, 2 Very Good
Jumped on this to say we actually climbed something. Really contrived, but still fun.

 
Mon 15th Oct 2018 - Squamish
The Chief Above Bellygood
5.10b Upper Black Dyke - with Alice Sport 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 Sport 55m Classic
Did as one pitch. Awesome feature, well named!

 
Mon 15th Oct 2018 - Squamish
The Chief The Bulletheads Bulletheads South
5.10c Xenolith Dance - with Alice Sport 45m Very Good
P1 only. Good lead by Alice. But it's still not a xenolith!

 
5.10a 5.10c Chassè Right - with Alice Sport 45m
p2 (10a) only, accessed by traversing from Xenolith Dance anchors.

 
Mon 15th Oct 2018 - Squamish
The Chief Penthouse
5.10a Mr. Ciechanowski - with Alice Sport 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 Sport 40m Good
Was meant to do Ladies First, but it was getting dark and completely missed the bolts. Progressively harder right to the top.

 
Wed 19th Sep 2018 - Cypress Falls Park
Cougar Crag
5.12a Double Shot No Foam Soy Latte Sport 13m, 4 Very Good
Screwed up my sequence to accidentally find a better one. Will try to remember it for next time...

 
5.11c S.O.S. Sport 14m, 5 Average
Was feeling a lot harder than it looked until I found some jams. Would improve if it was a bit cleaner.

 
Sun 9th Sep 2018 - Cypress Falls Park
Cougar Crag
5.11b Flake Route Sport 13m, 5 Very Good
Did this to start and finish. Much easier at the start of the day! Knowing the holds and sequence helps a lot on this steep rock

 
5.12a Double Shot No Foam Soy Latte Sport 13m, 4 Very Good
Three shots, probably all too close together. Cool move past the first bolt, and then took a while to figure out the crux section with the tick marks and chalk everywhere. Figured out the feet on the second shot, then just got too pumped for the crux on the third shot. Loving this crag, is a great workout.

 
Fri 7th Sep 2018 - Cypress Falls Park
Cougar Crag
5.11b Flake Route Sport 13m, 5 Very Good
Getting a little tired...Hard start, maybe missed something on the way to the start of the flake. Easy up flake and corner, then cruxy move out right. Move right foot up for move.

 
5.11a Pool Boy Sport 13m, 6 Very Good
Great climb, good value for the grade.

 
5.10c Awkward Proposition Sport 12m, 4 Good
Fun and steep, just a pity the top was so filthy

 
5.10d Cougarlicious Sport 12m, 5 Average
Was having troubles with getting the pro-traxion running smoothly while keeping the rope out of the water. Might have been more fun if things were running smoothly.

 
Mon 3rd Sep 2018 - Squamish
Murrin Park Betazoid / The Milkman's Wall
5.8 Jugs, Not Drugs - with barb Sport 15m, 5 Good
Fun, juggy gym climbing. Pity it's so short.

 
5.11c Gertrude - with barb Sport 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.

 
Sun 1st Jul 2018 - Squamish
The Chief The Bulletheads Campground Wall
5.11b Varicose Veins - with Janet Sport 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 2nd May 2018 - Cypress Falls Park
Knucklehead
5.11c What the Dog Saw Sport 18m, 10 Classic
Pulled it out of my arse. Will be fun to lead this once it's dry.

 
Wed 23rd Aug 2017 - Squamish
Top Shelf
5.11b Cursing All the Way - with Alex Sport 15m, 7 Good
Some slopey holds mixed in with nasty crimps...Felt quite similar to Hillwood.

 
Thu 17th Aug 2017 - Sully's Hangout

5.10b Raging Duck Sport 18m, 5 Average
Not the best gear, and not the best climb!

 
Mon 15th Aug 2016 - Sully's Hangout
5.9 Little LuLu Sport 20m, 10 Good
5.10a 3M Sport 20m Good
5.10d 5.10c Shake your lettuce Sport 20m Very Good
Better than I remembered. Really nice climbing.

 
5.10b Dynamic Duo Sport 22m, 7 Good
Thu 11th Aug 2016 - Squamish
The Sanctuary The Basement
5.11a Placebo Sport 9m Average
As the guide says, not the best warm-up. A pretty ugly climb, really. Nowhere near two stars!

 
5.11d Pleasure Dome Sport 16m 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 Sport 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.

Century Wall
5.12a Quarter Century Girl - with Deano Sport 25m Classic
One slip and one sit. Would definitely feel soft with a bit of endurance. Almost all jugs, with a couple of great rests on the way.

 
Mon 8th Aug 2016 - Horne Lake
Amphitheater
5.12b Plastic Jesus - with Deano Sport 18m Very Good
One fall going for the big hole (end of the crux?), and lowered off for Deano to have another go.

 
5.11a You Enjoy Myself - with Deano Sport 20m Classic
Pumped out the first time, got it second go just fine. Easy moves, just steep!

 
Sun 7th Aug 2016 - Horne Lake
Amphitheater
5.11a Fuzzy Slippers (Unknown 1) Sport 15m Average
Got too pumped trying to figure which way to go. Not the most inspiring route here.

 
5.12b Moonraker - with Deano Sport 25m Classic
Found the mid-height crux hard, but apparently I missed a pocket...Almost let go just before the anchors. Just the one go. Couple of falls midway, and one sit higher up.

 
Sat 6th Aug 2016 - Horne Lake
Stage Right
5.10a Isa's Eyes Sport 25m Average
Sharp rock! Becomes more fun with height.

Stage Right
5.10b The Body p1 - with Deano Sport 20m Good
5.11b The Body p2 - with Deano Sport 40m Classic
Had a fall at the flake just before the chert bands. For some reason, we thought there was only 9 bolts on the second pitch, but there's 12! Super pumpy just before the chert bands, easing off after second bolt into chert.

Fern Hill
5.11c Burp the Worm - with Deano Sport 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 Sport 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 Sport 20m, 8 Very Good
Climbed after Deano. It might be dirtier than a lot of the other climbs here, but it climbs really well.

 
Tue 28th Jun 2016 - Squamish
Murrin Park Petrifying Wall DOA Wall
5.11a Underwire Sport 25m, 8 Good
Good fun, with a thankfully good jug after the roof.

 
5.10b Heavy Petting Action Sport 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.

 
Tue 28th Jun 2016 - Squamish
Murrin Park Petrifying Wall Pleasant Pheasant Area
5.11a Pleasant Pheasant - with Deano Sport 22m, 7 Classic
Gets you pumped if you're unfit, but otherwise pretty simple climbing.

The Fortress
5.10a Stouthearted Sport 34m, 10 Very Good
5.10a Plum Line Sport 34m, 10 Mega Classic
Definitely easier than the climbs to either side, but just such fun climbing!

 
5.10a 5.9 Sagging Bumline Sport 36m, 9 Classic
The new guide gives it 5.9, but it's harder than Plum Line and Stout Hearted, especially near the top. Good run-outs!

 
Sat 30th Apr 2016 - Skaha
Morning Glory
5.10a Black Acid Sport 14m, 7 Classic
Great fun, Steep and juggy with incut sidepulls.

 
5.11a Villainous Sport 15m Good
Pumpy access to upper pitch

 
5.11a Totally Villainous Sport 30m Classic
Combined with Villainous into one pitch. Had to rest on second last bolt. Next time!

5.9 Piggy Monster Sport 24m, 8 Good
Felt tough for a 5.9 warm-up! But perhaps I'm just soft.

 
5.10a Homers Wake Sport 20m Very Good
Good fun, making me think in a couple of spots

 
5.10b 5.10a Odyssey Sport 22m, 9 Very Good

5.10a 3M - with Barb Sport 20m Very Good

Not that mossy since someone cleaned it, but still as good as the name sounds. Shitty cruxy move off the ground and then shitty climbing above that.

Sun 9th Aug 2015 - Skaha
The Belfry
5.12b Flat Wire - with Jed Sport 9 Classic
Two falls around final roof. Get right hand in jug below roof, then big move to face hold on left above roof. Bring right into jam in roof, then left to sharp fingerlock and move feet up.

 
5.12a Blade Runner - with Jed Sport 22m, 10 Classic
Second shot of the day.

5.10d 5.10c Sex Machine - with Jed Sport 15m, 9 Very Good
Warmup for the day.
