Ryan following pitch 4 of Upper Echelon on the FA with Squamish in the background. That would be the drill that I left attached to the bolt.

Jenn finishing up a route on Agatha Tower. Surprisingly a pretty fun pitch ... not as loose as it looks.

A slab near the top of Yak Check. A bit more slab climbing to the summit. What a fun route. With the drive from Vancouver, this route made for a long day.

Our first time in the valley. We were amazed.

Jenn following the East Face on the 3rd Flatiron. Loved how you could just climb anywhere ... and we did.

Jenn seconding the first pitch of the Direct East Face. Not a lot of pro, but super fun climbing none the less.

Jenn Bouldering in Eldorado Canyon. Nice pulling on incuts.

Pat cleaning the pitch up the sickle shaped corner on a cloudy day. Good fun.

On a rainy day we were looking for other things to do around Penticton when we happened upon this flaring hand crack. I'll get you next time peach!

Leading the Split Pillar pitch on the Grand Wall. Perfect handjamming almost all the way makes this one of the finest pitches I've ever been on. Photo by Ryan Kurytnik.

This is me enjoying the easy and exposed section on the sword. Climbers below are on Merci Me, the most common approach to the Grand Wall. Photo by Ryan Kurytnik.

The most interesting finish at Horne Lake. Lift butt, pull 6 inches of rope through, sit down, regroup, lift butt .....

On the terrace just after completing the stellar 5th pitch of Pan Tease. Sustained, interesting, and not polished at all.

Myself working this great problem. Can't seem to keep my feet on through the crux.

The stunning roof of the Amphitheatre kept us dry on this rainy day.

All pump through this nice route. Big tufa pinches and kneebars see you through the top section.

Approaching the warthogs snout. The finish involves throwing your legs up and hugging it with your thighs.

Evening view of the Squamish River Valley with the Chief glowing in the distance.

Due to most of Chek being covered in snow we stayed near the parking lot. Real TV is a short, fun .10a on Foundation Wall.
