A beautiful climb, and a great route to start on in Zion

Enjoying the breeze on pitch 10 or 11. And I really need to get a hair cut!!

This topo is drawn mostly from memory, so the exact number of bolts may be off. I'm not sure who did the F.A. on which pitches so I have included the different teams that as far as I know have contributed. If you know different p.m. me and I will change it

Here's a shot of Wapiti mainline on Greyback peak. A gorgeous granite slab on northern Vancouver island

ANother shot of me aid climbing on U-wall at Squamish

This is me on white lightning in TBay over my Christmas break. What a great way to spend the holidays, hitting up northern ontario ice!

This is me aiding up ALbatross at Mt. WElls. Its about the third time I've climbed the route, its an excellent training route for newer aid climbers. I had brought JP out (Ihategrigris) for his second ever aid climb on this one. Photo by Ihategrigris

Here's a shot of me on the first pitch of U-wall. Photo taken by Aaron.

Here's a shot taken by my climbing partner Aaron of the gorgeous corner systems of U-wall at Squamish. A delightful climb!

Here's a shot of my brother taking a little fall off some sport route at the smoke bluffs. I manages to capture him mid action, since I saw his leg shaking, I busted out my camera and set the shutter to 1000...

Here's my brother leading a beautiful crack at Octppus garden. We were pretty exhausted that day.

ON belay at the top of pitch 13 on Wapiti mainline... a beautiful place to climb

This us on your way to a day of aid climbing at Crest Creek..... who ever said aid climbers were normal?

Here's a view of the MacKenzie range, right before a blizzard blew in and forced us to bivy on the ridge.

Here's a shot from somewhere around pitch 8 of the slabs on Wapiti Mainline. Figured it was about time someone posted a shot of what the place looked like

Here's a view from the top of pitch 10 of Wapiti mainline. Our refusal to have an alpine start and the short october days forced us to retreat.

Me aiding up the 3rd pitch of cannabis wall. The weather was pretty gloomy, but that does not really matter for a great day of aiding. Fabulous route.

Here's Aaron on pitch one of Cannabis wall, not too far off the ground

Man I suck at offwidths... This is the me on the classic offwidth split beaver in Squmaish. I flailed like a madman on this one

This is me on Eh Tu Brute (A2) at Crest Creek Crags. It was a frightfully cold december day, and we climbed well into the dark

My brother on the classic 3 pitch aid climb American Demon(A3) in Thunder Bay.

My friend Chris leading some A2 aid climb at the bluffs on a cold december day!

This is my bro de-rigging after a very cold day of aid climbing at come cliffs across from the pass lake cliffs. The rock was a bit crumbly, but a fun way to spend a cold day!
