The Lorax 5.13a — Squamish BC
🪨 Route - The Lorax, The Monastery, Cheakamus Canyon, Squamish BC
📍 Crag - maps.google.com/maps?q=49.90277,-123.15652
🌲 Approach - After enjoying scenic views from the Sea-to-Sky Hwy regardless of which direction you are coming from, navigate to the Conroy Creek FSR (about a 20 min drive North of Squamish): maps.google.com/maps?q=49.906373,-123.162076 - Park in the lot next to the highway and begin the approach by walking past a large yellow gate at the SE end of the lot. Head up a short hill to the gym like crag known as Electric Ave. Say hi to all the doggies and kids running wild and continue along a well established trail at the south end of this crag. Continue up this steep trail for about 15 minutes. The Monastery sits high on the SE side of Mt. Chek, continue past the crag for 5 minutes for an enjoyable 360 summit view.
🚗 Special Parking Notice - Do not parking in front of the yellow gate in the lower lot; If there are no spaces, drive further up the Conroy Creek FSR and park in a larger open campground parking area. Be courteous and leave space for large logging trucks (or emergency vehicles) which occasionally come ripping down the FSR.

Sali Bong V7, Squamish [Uncut]
มุมมอง 338ปีที่แล้ว
🪨 Boulder - Sali Bong, Grand Wall Boulders, Squamish A few delicate slab moves lead to a dramatic throw for the lip. Marc Bourdon's 3rd edition of Squamish Bouldering has this climb listed as a V9, however, I am guessing this original line used some slab trickery to continue directly up the blank face. This leftward trending variation (assuming I climbed it "correctly") is listed as V7 in Marc ...

While it looks like quite a slopey traverse, many of the moves are supported by key early foot holds and a positive heel hook. The boulder transitions quickly to compression moves and positive meat hooking action before the final mantle and slab. A stand-out line for the grade and conveniently located...

      @mabsoule 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Indeed, winter bouldering in Squamish is so tricky weather wise, often a soggy mess but once in awhile it's the best friction of the year. Early January this year was very cold but nice and grippy, not as friendly since then. Good luck if you do find a window to get on it! These clips are from the end of February last year (2023). Hoping to post some more recent stuff soon.
