A Prince Among Thieves – 5.12b

Squamish > Murrin Park > Quercus Cliff

25m / 82ft, 8 bolts

Description:

A thuggish start gains the open corner in the middle of the wall. A perplexing crux at the tombstone feature leads to easier climbing and a delicate finish. There's a big runout before the last bolt, but it's on easy terrain.

Techy, interesting movement. You don’t need to pull too hard if you trust your feet! I went out right at the crux. 2nd go.

Fantastic crag, fantastic climb. Tried it last year and couldn't figure out the dihedral. This year sent it putting up the draws. The bottom was definitely the spookiest part for me. Highly recommend.

3rd try. Tried it once a few weeks ago when it was bitter cold and wet and I couldn’t try all of it. Tried it again today and fell at the dihedral then got it next burn. I really enjoyed this climb. Very technical through the dihedral and a fun, short crimpy section . I love this wall it’s got the perfect combination of smooth and textured rock . This was really enjoyable

Love the funky corner in the first half. Fell going for the chains on the onsight attempt. 2nd go.

Psyched on this one. Looks like top crux has very different beta if your tall or short. Probably one of my favourite climbs at this grade.

Didn't get all the corners clean on the first go worked it out on tr. Came back 2 days later to send it! Super technical route with a bit of burlyness. One of my favourite sends to date

Three seasons, six visits, countless hours. What was it going to take to send my hardest project yet? Better fitness? A beta breakthrough?? A next generation belayer??? If you guessed the third option, then you must have spent some time on Prince. You would know how the belayer would have to somehow keep the rope tight during the tenous stemming off the deck, yet pay-out enough slack for the wild horizontal dyno, all while dodging the notoriously slimy slugs and voracious mosquitoes at the base of the climb. Could such a belayer actually exist? Yes, one does. Her name is Daphne.
