30m right of the start to Skywalker. Just before the base of the Gobsmacking wall. (Shannon falls)

Thanks, what is the route called? So it's before you get to the wall where Chewbacca is or is it on that same wall? What is the rating? Or rather the general size of the crack? ;) I love splitter cracks. Yum.

Go back two pages to my original post and photos. All of the particulars are there. It is about half way between the bases of Skywalker and Chewbacca's

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
I've been so busy this year. I've got lots of ammo for the dull days of winter ahead though!
Hope everyone is well.

Great shots, Mike. Power Windows looks different from there but you captured the way that step away from the crack feels, and we get to see all of the crack, too.
Also very good of Kyle on YG.

Actually Andy was right Dave! Clandestine can be seen just to the left of Yorkshire Gripper. Nice to hear from all you gentlemen though!

Big Mike, Grumpy old Men first pitch is only 11A, it gets the 11C rating for the second pitch. Try linking up GOM after the crux of pitch one to the crack of Ugly American for "The Grumpy American." just a wee bit runout.

Rolf- i was wrong about a grade??.. Shocking!! ;) lol
Ya John! Now all you need to do is come on up here next summer and i'll take you up Diedre and some other fun moderates!
I had to bring conehead here to the vet today. No one in Whistler wanted to work today so i ended up bringing him down to Squamish.
We took him to Nexen beach after the vet.

Actually I'm wearing my very skookum fred t-shirt at work today. I've heard the security people are on their way.
People are looking at me. Tami did this to me. Stupid bright yellow t-shirts aren't allowed here.

No criticism meant Mike. Based on the grades down here in JT, I should have graded GOM 5.10B and removed half the bolts.
A great community down here, that has accepted this displaced Canuck into their group of locals. A lot of us geezers down here, I may come back to the Great White North with long hair, and a pony tail! OMG . I've already bought the Prius!
All kidding aside, if you come down, old school grades that teach you humility and respect for some of the pioneers of climbing.
Brownie, the top of GOM pitch one,ended on a grassy ledge, then you traversed right on an exposed section to the base of the business. P2 Tenuous steep slab ends with a dyno to a good hold. If that pitch was easier to approach, it would see non stop traffic.

:) None taken Rolf. I was poking fun at what seems to be a common theme around here. Me being wrong about the grade. J- Tree eh? It's on the list! Maybe soon? I'll let you know.
