My guess is also Center Street, or maybe the 5.9 route (baby lizard??). The other 10a with 10b extension (behind the climber in BM first post from the other night) is also an exciting route, especially the traverse at the top.
Tami, scary stuff. I was reading the other day about environmental sustainability (broadly defined) and using natural interest vs natural capital. Same basic economic principals that apply to neoliberalism. Interesting parallells that few people think about....
Climbed Hanging Gardens the other night. Had a good laugh at Big Mike's writeup. Solid route, but filling in with debris. I did a little gardening, but for such a great route, it's weird it doesn't get talked about or climbed that often. Need to go back for the red point, but the cruxes are't as bad as they look.

You gents got it!! Heather was a few feet from the onsight!!
Perry are you available for Psyche ledge this year?? I am looking forward to it.
Maurop, Hanging Gardens never made the book unfortunately! I think that's why it suffered. I laughed at my writeup too. Luke is a powerful motivator.... :)

Big Mike,
Thanks for the timely reminder of the Annual Psyche Ledge gathering on Sept 12.
We'll have to brace ourselves for the withering disapproval of the egregiously territorial pebble wrestlers as they've made it clear, many of them think that area is their turf.
Amazing how the former center of the Squamish climbing universe is relegated to obscurity.
That's why I think the annual gathering is important.
I'll freshen up the Psyche Ledge thread while I'm at it.
Regards,
PB

There sure seems to be alot of route cleaning beside Centre Street, very white rock, must be acid rain. The bluffs seem to get whiter every year.

Red nails is a classic now Tami. High Quality 11c. It was even pictured in the new guide. The bluffs are way more popular now-a-days. All this cleaning has opened up some nice old climbs and made it much easier to get away from the crowds..

Good on Heavy, send him down to Free and Easy crag and Island in the Sky, some really unpopular climbs down there. "This, That and the other Thing" is worth a rescrub, or is that whole area now on private property?

I'm not sure where the line is on that one Rolf. I don't think so, but again i'm unsure. I know The Zip definitely is. Island In the Sky has a few lines that look worth scrubbing tho..

Aid climbers typically still carry hammers Hamish.. Freeclimbers generally don't but i bet in the alpine lots do...
The mountains foretold the changing of the seasons again this morning...
I am going to default to my optimistic attitude for this winter. There are so many factors in play right now, who knows what's going to happen!

BM, I haven't carried a hammer in the alpine for several decades, and I doubt if many others do today. [I still have one for placing bolts and anchors.] If you don't have a hammer, use a big rock or a brick, but be careful. Remember it's their thumb and not your fingers which is the target.
