Never enough time on the rock Big Mike, but I have rediscovered the fun of climbing slabs with the great old crew down here at JT.
Respect to Todd Gordon, Tucker Tech, strong man Kelly and the rest of the crew down here. Real local heroes! Ten's of thousands routes between them and they are not about chasing numbers, just having fun.
I hope your healing physically and mentally. Sent you a PM.

BigMike we're flying into Seattle, and renting a car. We've got a friend who lives in Squamish that we may or may not stay with if the weather is bad. If it's nice we'll just stay at the base of the Grand, and maybe throw down on a nicer pad for the last night or 2 before leaving.
Plan is to be there from August 3rd-10th.

Ok points for both of you. Looked like you had fun on Diedre yesterday dru.
Did you link pitches? I love linking the two first corner pitches! So sweet and perfect for a 70m rope.

We took advantage of every stance and the lack of other parties to belay and have a picnic.
That rig is slicker'n whale snot by the way. Hard to believe I thought it was a cruiser solo once. Banana Peel is lightyears easier to 3rd class.

It probably was back then. It still is viewed as a mellow solo by many contemporary Squamish climbers. (Not me!) To think of it, it's probably on par with your standard valley route.
