Comments: You mean either Slesse or Tomyhoi. If you can see a big flat glacier bench left of the summit, then Tomyhoi.

Comments: It's Mount Blum, with Glacier Pk (or possible Rainier) behind.

Comments: This climb has seen some scrubbing with two brand new bolts appearing near the arete about 4 feet right of the flake which used to be used to protect the opening moves. Possibly a squeezed in direct start or?

Comments: Added two bolts on the cruxy arete section, no longer R rated but still rather airy feeling at the crux.

Comments: New two rap anchor station at the top as of today :)
Seeps a little bit after wet weather.

Location: International : North America : Canada : British Columbia : Squamish : ... : Out to Lunge (5.10a)
By: Dru When: Jun 5, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: The lower traverse is a 5.8 variant to Easter Island, first cleaned and climbed by Mark Mason and Derrick Horne in 2005.
The proper Out To Lunge climbs a short rightwards traverse (thin crack, easier to foot traverse than hand traverse) and up to gain the higher of the two traverses. More like 5.9 than 10a.

Comments: This route is now called Salal Jam. It used to be just the left-hand start to Asleep at the Wheel.

Comments: Dug most of the weeds and routes out last weekend but it could use some further manicuring at the top. A great hand-sized crack and stemming corner overall.

Comments: Added a two bolt rap anchor about 5m past Marc-Andre's old sling-around-a-tree belay. Will give it a touch up scrub and add a bolt at the crux as per M-A's instructions which should tame the R rating somewhat. Great slabby arete climbing overall.

Comments: Mostly clean; a little bit grassy at the top where you traverse right. Similar in nature to some of the Solarium climbs on the Squamish Chief. Station is currently slings around a tree with a quick link, but the bolt fund is paying for rap anchors to be added here.

Comments: The start off the ledge is thin and balancy, about 6 to 7 moves long. I'm nowhere near freeing it. Soloed the rest of the climb from the stance just past the second bolt. FFA is up for grabs, have at it.

Comments: there are out of print guides to some areas of the valley and an in-print guide to the bouldering at Hunter Creek. Otherwise, this is your best resource. Plus it's free!

Comments: There is active logging up Hunter Creek right now, which means loaded logging trucks coming down the road at high speed. Be aware, park and walk with care, and don't get hit.

Comments: The fourth bolt is currently hangerless but can be cinched with a wired nut. This situation will be rectified within the next couple of weeks.

Comments: Second pitch is now fully cleaned. Follow the arete throughout, 30m, 5.7-ish. Needs a good rainfall to wash the dust away, though. Two 1990s era bolts (still in good shape), finger sized gear, may need one more bolt at the second step. Ends on the ledge right below Bigfoot and about 10m right of the top anchor for Tree Frog.

Comments: Did this one yesterday. Pitch 2 was the crux for me. Middle crack on p3 felt like 10a, short crux and good finger jams. Climbed the chimney for the final pitch and you can get away with max. of one #3 camalot/#4 friend size, no need for double anything.
Worth noting too that this ends up on the ledge right below the Corazon Face so you have the choice to add on one of 3 10d bolted face climbs or a 10a dike traverse for a 5th pitch.

Comments: Both exits have been done at the top. FA is not noted but it was probably either Alex H. or Darren Jensen. I get the feeling Alex thought it was a pretty minor variation. I remember it being pretty tricky once you leave that narrow starting feature behind though!

Comments: Not a FA Marco, this route is in the old guidebook as a variation to Pig Pen:
"Var: The Puzzle. Start 3m left of crack (great balance moves) then move towards Pig Pen."
