Chief

Top of The Chief via Rock On 5.10a and Squamish Buttress 5.10c in 10 pitches. A bit of an adventure but a good day out.

Rock On

Sometimes you can lose track of just how far out you are. Rob, thinking there were only 5 meters left of the 70 meter rope on a 55 meter pitch, decided to build an anchor at just about the crux of Rock On 5.10a, The Chief, Squamish. It's not easy to climb by a guy on belay on the crux, but you do what you have to do...

Power Windows

I have never climbed anything so slabby. The crack is good, the start of the traverse interesting and then you get to the arête... where there's not a single crystal. It's palms backwards friction climbing, absolutely dreadful. Rob Wall gliding up Power Windows 5.11b/c, Smoke Bluffs, Squamish.
