peas's Logbook (248 ascents)

with yetanotherdave. left the ground at 8:45 and topped out at 5:30. I got the upper 4 pitches. This climb has been a measuring stick for my aid climbing.

Attempt 1: 1 pitch completed. prussiks used for ascending and hauling. My partner slept upright in a lawn chair. I was crushed widthwise and lengthwise in a camp cot. Bailed the next morning.

Attempt 2: 5 pitches completed. Tried to do it in a day. It was dark when I started the 6th pitch. Our crappy topo had the bolts blurred out so I got way off route and we decided to rap. Partner had a mini epic when he used his boot lace for a prussik and had to cut it off. Back in the parking lot at 2am. We were supposed to meet a friend for beers in Squamish that night. He met us in the parking lot after worrying a lot.

Attempt 3: Success! No hitches. Everything according to plan.

Climbed with yetanotherdave. Fun climb. More natural, but a little harder than Uncle Ben's.

Friggin' hard. Note that gambler had a top rope ascent. See his ascent list for the significance of this.

Dave lead the first four pitches. I got the last one. We had planned to do Strange Brew as well, but didn't have enough light. Left the ground at 7am and were back down in the parking lot by 4pm.

I got the odd pitches, Karl got the even (and crux) pitches. Holy traffic jam!

Chris lead pitch 2, I got the rest. Neat climb.

nice, but short.

Great climb. Too bad I couldn't do it in a bit better style. Next time.

Dave got the 1st pitch. I got the 2nd. Nice route.

My first time leading this one. Fun climb. Much better than the corresponding bush climbing that you could take to get to Baseline Ledge.
