A long way from where I started

They came past on their way down as I was sliding down the start of Magic Carpet Ride, which seems to have been sprayed with a climber-proof non-stick coating.
That's weird, isn't it. I'm finding the same thing more and more often these days. I'll start up an old favorite climb and...
... Damn! Those vandals have sprayed this one, too!
And Mike, is that High Mountain Woody?

BB I think David ( ghost ) and I did the first and last winter ascent of that thing. :-0
There was a moment that day when I thought you might be about to set the all-time speed record for the descent of the face in BB's photo. The kind of record that can be equaled, but never broken.
1,500 meters in ten seconds.
Scary sh#t.

We had planned to marinate the tasty tender flesh with various local roots for extra AZN medicinal power !!!
Oh sh#t. There goes my retirement.
Tami and I were planning to patent that mix of arrowroot and yak dung that guarantees long life, sexual prowess, and the ability to see what is behind Door Number 3.
It would have given us uncountable millions as AZNs, who can no longer afford powdered rhino horn or tiger testicles, lined up to buy our potion.
Now you've gone and spilled the secret on the internet.

That is unmistakably a famous milestone in the history of route-cleaning at Squamish.
Lol! Ya! Who was it that cleaned it "after" Robin? ;)

UWall may or not be a "mini-wall". It is definitely shorter if you skip the last 3 or 4 pitches up the Roman Chimneys, as you did.

Oh no! Not that one! The first climb I got on in Squamish, and the first climb I didn't get. Still a fine line. I loved it, but just ran out of gas. Lol.

^ A climb that punches above it's grade. As an onsight, at least.
The video is nice but misleading. For one thing, the sun never shines on The Reacharound. For another, it is more intimidating than it looks in the vid. Here is the part of the video which best gives the feel experienced by many on it:

Ten points for Jungle Warfare? That climb is seriously underrated I think, lots of fun climbing on that rig.
Also I don't think anyone named Mike's photo of the money pitch of St. Vitus - so good, feels like you're jamming for forever on that pitch.

I thought jungle warfare paled in comparison to birds of prey or rock on which are supposed to be other bench mark 5.10-'s of the region.

I think the first pitch may put people off.. it's pretty grubby looking, but it's all super clean after that.
Some nice exposure on the 5.8 pitch as well.

Can anyone recognize this one?
My apologies as it is about 40min north of Squamish...
Also, I wonder if anyone knows the youngest person ever to climb this little peak (I'm 16)?

Phyliss Engine for sure. One of the best three pitch 5.8's you'll ever climb. Like a super remote desert tower in a different sort of desert.
