Good fun
A nice crack. Not as nice as Klahani, but good fun none the less, and an enjoyable next step up.
Can rap off with a 60 if your willing to go off end and downclimb the last 5m of 5.4 climbing.

Holy toledo this route is stellar!
What a glorious line. Crux at the start the cruiser to the top. The most enjoyable 5.8 I have ever had the priviledge of climbing. Wowzaz! Don't forget to look behind you and take in the view!

Fantastic.
Squamish Select calls this a 5 star classic. I get why. Its fun face climbing on tiny little pockets. Well exposed and adequately protected. Watch for falling grime if you have people working the Big Show above you.

What a great line!
After experiencing the sheer joy of Angel's Crest two weeks prior, I was itching for another long day up the Chief. This proved a worthy follow up.
We approched via Diedre and Boomstick.
Link each of the first pair's of easier pitches to save time. Drag is minimal if protection is well thought out. The 5.9 before the crux is fun, but this is really all about the thin 10c corner crack which serves as the centerpiece of this climb. Bring lots of small pro!
Good times!

Flake fun!
We used this route to link Diedre to the hanging forest on our way to Squamish Buttress.
It's good fun. First move off the Broadway Ledge is the crux. Then it is a fine balancy cruise to the top.
We climbed it in one very long pitch and used a rope tug system to communicate. Drag was present but minimal.
I'd call it more of a 5.7 than a 5.4.

Super fun Cruiser
I get it now. I get why this mega-classic so darn popular. It's fun!
Glad I did it on a monday to avoid crowds. Super enjoyable climbing on well spaced, small gear. Last pitch does not take gear well but is easy. I ran it out.
This route makes for a fine approach to the Buttress if the crowds allow it.

Unbelievable!
Absolutely stunning! Glorious rock.
The second to last pitch is unreal, and the Acrophobes will blow your mind! Just go... go climb this route!
Took us 10 hrs. We doddled a bit.
