2025-06-22An all-time classic. I've put a lot of effort into this one over the last few years. Many great days out with the PV crew. IMO if you're short (I'm ~5'4") this route is solid 14b. -

2015-10-04 (FA)Mega-proj! extremely rewarding process, really psyched on route development after this experience! Suggesting 14a, by far the hardest thing I've ever climbed and I must have sunk at least 40 attempts into it. It will be interesting to see what others think about the difficulty. An amazing route, one of the best hard sport climbs in Squamish in my subjective opinion!
