Wooooooow... B.K. too cool!!! (literally!)
Did you guys climb the iced "Cat o' nine tails??" Looks wild!!
Great pics!
I remember seeing hangers "flattened" on "Tiggers"... thought someone was
opposed to them @ the time... later realized that the Ice had done it.
Do you know when the gate opened?
Cheers

Good stuff BK!
Yeah, Amazing how "quality" can justify "means". eh? Love it!
Anyway, think we chatted about all this yrs ago on a lift ride in Whistler... going down.
... talked of hitting Spanky's Wall?... maybe...
Which reminds me... Rob Richards headed up there once... miffed by the route names, it seemed... not impressed... apon his return he left a message: "pure Yosemite delight" he said... that description always stuck w/ me, and strive to find reasons to use it.
Cheers

Although I was surprised at how much dirt was on the next pitch.

Upper Echelon! Good climb. Great alternative to Ultimate Everything.
Keep it up folks!
Edit: Just in case you missed it, Luke's first effort with his G12!

Not sure why the rope bridge because we go in August to out-wait snow melting above and making the rock wet, and the water high.
Lucky you...Winter its not so easy...however I am sure there are more stable designs?

Obscure but good, this pic was taken on the FA of The Simian Response. It's a 10d to the right of Millennium Falcon in the Dihedrals. Climb Cleaning the Brain, a 10c thin hand splitter crack, to start the thin enduro layback corner of Simian.

Found some pics from us on the Fluffy Kitten wall. These are us on the upper pitches we added to Pussy Galore.
Methot took that 10b finger crack pitch up to some gear belay. Then Robinson did a micro pitch to the bush ledge.
That's the bush we rappelled down off. KM calls it a "large tree ledge" in his guidebook...
This is a climb that would be really nice if properly cleaned, it would climb like a classic on the Apron. Accessibility makes that very unlikely to happen though.

Partners in CRIME is to the right, the 11a straight up thin weirdo sized crack. Looking at the first picture I thought someone might have bolted Climb and Punishment. I think those bolts are on Sunny Days in November right?

Sunny Days in December goes up left from Climb and Punishment. The bolts in the photos are on a newer route right of CAP.

Great thread, astounding really, just the right amount of entropy.
There has been rumours about a new Squamish book on it's way. Are there any new rumours to be added?
