There's definitely some five star tree climbing in the area :-)
Were you guys on an established route in that photo? Or just looking around?
It's an interesting angle as well I'd love to see where you guys were. Such a great shot.
I think this was added on this thread before but I've been creeping on this link lately. Lots of good views.
So cool.

Chris! Lol! This route is super polished and it's still grippier than most fa's in Yosemite! Lol
Nwo! I saw you on Blackcomb on opening day!! :)
Powder Wednesday? Heck ya! Shoot me a pm. I gotta gig in the afternoon.
Edit
You sound pretty confident about that, mang. Maybe it wasn't you, but people who recognize me as Big Mike usually stop to talk, unlike you who typically just says hi to me and ski by... ;) Lol

So it's like the fine silverware; polished from years of use yet still classey! I've been told it's all in the footwork.

I betcha they are goin' ground up in the Caramba Crags area. So much to do in there. I remember when Moorhead Jr claimed straight-faced in a Ripped Mag article that Caramba Crags was a secret classic of Squamish.

Friction was excellent today Eric! Looks like we just missed each other!!
Good question NWO. It looks like it's on the other side of the terminals?
I got out with Heather on Saturday too. We met up with Nate, Brianna, Kyle and Nina.
We climbed at Woodstock and even ran in Peder there.
Then Kyle wanted to get on Fligus Cling so we headed over to Pet.
Brianna, Nate and Heather chilling at Pet.
Who is that on Fear of Flying Eric?

Greetings and salutations.
I've survived a vicious work stint and have returned baring photos of some of this summers more memorable outings.
First up we got brownie with his aiders stowed ready to go beastmode on this heinous flare.
I think Jim B. may recall this flare...
Next is Kieran again this time following the 2nd pitch of Lost at Sea, lowering out on to some dubious aid placements.
One of the final pitches on Sunset Strip
Me Contemplating the roof at the top of the Golden Throat Charmer
Kyle on a new route we did this fall, Sunday Drive 40m 11b
My office/rest set up from the pique of the recent work stint.
Too much work can lead to peerannoya.
Glad to have some respite from the barely tolerables and to be spending some time around the ranch.

I got a few more decent shots from yesterday.
Kyle getting started on Teenage Girls, with Chris at the reins.
Clipping the second bolt
Kyle jumped on Jangling Ball Wall 11b next.
The friction was so good, his toque stuck to the cliff...
Sacking up for the mantle. This move is heinous and feels super insecure.

So, there is a story behind this packet of 'tches I found on my desk. It
involves MTV, Nelson Bunker Hunt, a sh!tload of silver, and a lost weekend
at Whistler that Ray Milland would be proud of. Sounds like a Warren Zevon
song, eh?
This joint still there?

Definitely not Reilly!
What was it located near?
Some nice pics on that last page.
But I assure you that jangling ball wall is 11a. No harder than werewolves or partners in crime.
I thought it got its name because it looks like a scrotum of granite hanging off the wall. The fall is definitely jangly on the balls but I don't think hitting the ground is a problem unless you mess something up with the gear.
A great variation called "left nut" climbs to the base of the balls and traverse left to a thin little shelf where you execute a tricky mantel, place a yellow alien and layback up a little seam to join in with the bolted barley finish of JWB. You can see it in Mikes last pic of Kyle. It's an awesome winter route, maybe a tad harder than JBW.
Another variation that I don't fully understand starts further left on "short people" and is much more difficult and runout called "ball shorts".

Dood, I told you it was The Lost Weekend. I think it was near a chair lift. ;-)
