- FA: Griffin's Crack
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Upper Dark Side2021-08-14
V7Had to try a lot of different betas for this one including different jamming techniques, crimping, and even trying it inverted. I found my method but there are many plausible ways at a similar grade. One of the best at the river and well worth seeking out. Grading a crack like this is tricky and I suggest V7 because that's how hard it felt for me. I could see it going at V3 for someone who can hand jam #1s - V5 ↑Happy to have spotters and a million pads
- FA: Pocket Sand, High

Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Dark Side2021-06-05
V6 ↓Beauty climb next to some, wild roses, columbine, and the river. Felt quite hard, and maybe a bit reachy, but I also haven't climbed for 2 months. Someone tell me if I'm off on the grade, this could be a hard 5. Look for rhe fossilized leaves nearby. - FA: The Snail and the Succulent Low
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Dark Side2021-06-02
V5Dug out the climb and added a few good moves. I got pumped toping it out - FA: The Snail and the Succulent
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Dark Side2021-05-21

Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Dark Side2021-05-18

V4 ↑Beautiful pockets and desperate slopers. - FA: Underwater Horse Massacre
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Sunny Side2020-09-13
V2Good holds the whole way and a nice and easy mantle. Can't give a lowball traverse more than 3 stars though - FA: Cat in the Wall
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Sunny Side2020-09-13
V2 ↑Sweet juggy goodness! Big moves for the grade. Bad landing but the harder moves are safe. - V3Sweet and obvious line. Didn't know what I was climbing at the time but the description for this is exactly what I did.
- FA: Steamed Hams
Vancouver Island > Nanaimo Area > Nanaimo River Boulders > Lower Sunny Side2020-09-12
V0Cleaned it for a warmup, had some nice holds and landing - V3Nice clean line. I would suggest V3 aswell. It might be significantly harder for the reach-impaired
- V3Sweet.
