Sumptuous, squishy lip traversing at the lip traversing capital of the north.

We were surrounded by mosquitoes, but spend few hours on Baba Hari Dass on Sunday morning.

Start on good left crimp and terrible right hand, paste your left foot and rev hard to bad sloper then bump to a far better crimp right, Ikuma Morimitsu demonstrates.

make your way up a few good holds before crossing your right hand to a crimp/ pinch in the overhang, bust out left to the goods, and then another squishy mantel. Photo credit: Joyee Lau

Tricky lighting on this one, but the guys had a good session on this problem and I had time to snap from quite a few angles. Good work!

Superfly - V4, is a classic squamish problem. There are so many ways to do it. My perfered way is to dyno for the lip, by-passing three moves.

Taking climbing photos in Squamish due to low light conditions. This problem has, by far, the best natural lighting in the forest. Here is Lan giving the first few moves a try.

This is me climbing my favourite V5 of all time, because a) it is not really a V5 if you are short and b) i love manteling! Photo taken by Dave

Ikuma Morimitsu's biggest strength as a climber is his ability to work something hard over and over and over again and still have enough energy to send it at the end of the day. Here, he does just that.

Use magic powers to traverse this classic lip. ATD.

Jemco right before topping out the nasty mantle on this Squamish classic!

This is me doing the crux move on viper (V5) it is one of the many classic problems in the forest which we call "the forest"

one of the best in squish. crimp out a roof to a hand jam, then pull onto a slab over jagged talus. it doesn't really get any better than that folks. get on that shiz...

Dave Graham on Sharma's the Proposal; V12, at the Squamish RocTrip 2005. I am not sure who is spotting.

This is one of the many fun V4s in the forest. Layback up some sloping basalt dike holds, stick the finger bucket and finish on jugs.

Me on Sloppy Poppy at the Grandwall boulders in Squamish. It was my first trip and it was great!

this is the next moves on the sloppers of Sloppy Poppy. This has to be one of the hardest V4s ive done.

this was my first (and definately not last) trip to squamish. i was only there for one day but had the chance to do a handful of really nice problems including this one: superfly (V3 i think). great problem with one reachy move. my dad, randy, took the photo.

my first trip to squamish. i really enjoyed this steep problem, especially on such a beautiful day. i believe the name of the problem is "bo jo jones" and is rated V3.

This is me onsighting(false starts though) CheeseGrater V1, at the Great Wall forest at the Squamish RocTrip. I think it was actually pretty rough in the grade. At a minimum its was awkward with a constant battle against barn dooring
