Heading up the wall in a couple hours with kieran and nate(a.k.a. Browniephoto and thesoloclimber)!!
Our plan is to climb Zorros Last Ride(V 5.8) A3+) into Lost at Sea(III 5.8 A3+). As far as we know Lost at Sea has only had 1 repeat attempt and that was by me and fishboy.
The stoke is over whelming!
I tried to solo Zorros a couple months ago... and retreated half way through the traversing nail straight up under the roof pitch.. time for redemption!
Pre spray photos comming after a couple cups of coffee

Forgot to finish my whiskey and water last night... got called out by my wife. drinking it now... MMM whiskey for breakfast, that oughta get rid of the anticipation shakes.
its a familiar feeling this morning, pre adventure stoke, normally nate busts in the front door, but today we gotta go pick him up in horseshoe bay.
kierans out scavenging more water bottles, and Im going to pick up some reefer momentarily.
It should be noted that we are ascending fixed lines to below the roof, in order to maximize use of our time frame, plus we have all already free climbed the first 5 pitches before.

I agree, poor bolts. I broke one under my scale-tipping bodyweight a pitch above the hook traverse, 25 or 30 yrs ago, with postmaster g.f.
Good luck and I hope the rain stays away for you guys.
And yes, the biking is Superb.......still. Just got in from a 5 star ripper. Over 400 hrs since jan. of this year. One day you'll all be mtn biking.
Hockey would be nice but I do get more done without it.

Not only are the original bolts on Zorros bad, but also there is a huge problem with failures under light loads for the belay bolts which have already been replaced. See CAJ 2002 issue for accident report details and route advisory.
Check and make sure there is a tiny "H" stamped on the end of the 3/8" studs at the belay, if not don't trust them with more than 150 lb's till you have drilled all new holes and replaced all the Stations.
Sorry I meant to tell you sooner. Sleep well, if you can ..... sleep at all
I'm surprised anyone went up there without parachutes.

They are alive still. I just tooted them in the car park and they looked down. They are somewhere under the roof I think.
The aid guide is ambiguous regarding the bolts. The text says fatties have been installed, however the picture mentions fatties only on the roof....

OK, so I drove by at about 6:30 and could see a headlamp, probably just under the roof. I flashed my headlamp at them, FWIW. It was +5 and windy, so they'll be doing the dreaded triple spoon stack for sure.

While hiking through the forest, the three bears were assailed by trolls. There was the Bruce-troll, the Greg-troll, the Hamish-troll, and the Jim-troll. "You're going to die" said the cheerful trolls, unaware that this is a childrens' story. "The bolts are going to break, you're going to freeze, you should just wait until they build their idiotic gondola, plus we envy you all your fun". Pretty grumpy bunch, eh? The intrepid trio continued despite the trolls, and soon were at the base of the wall, where they rehydrated, had another safety meeting, and sorted their eleven bags of stuff...

Then they had to make a big decision. Who was going to lead the first pitch, and would any spoon pitons be needed? Plus would there be cocoa and marshmallows with their bedtime story? Would Squamish SAR be called out because some non-climber saw "a light on the wall"? Disregarding such existential questions, they set off. Big Jim was there, in spirit anyway - don't leave home without him! They hadn't climbed far when the pink fingers of sunset began to caress the horizon, and the street lights began to come on. Our brave heroes needed a roof for the night. Where could they find one?

The threesome was also worried about nocturnal attacks from peregrine falcons, and tired from vertical freight-handling, but was relieved that Luke-bear's honed sasquatch sense revealed that none of the creatures were in the vicinity, although it is ideal habitat. Still, you can't short, medium and long fix all night, and besides not everything was broken and needed fixing. The team had some more to eat. Suddenly the light went on, although it was dark. There was a large granite roof overhead, which was just the ticket. Their room might lack walls and a floor, but it had a darn good ceiling! Plus a view that couldn't be beat.

Good morning Internet friends the three bears survived the night, despite a minor portaledge malfunction that woke the trio unexpectedly. Going to get climbing after some coffee and breaky on the pitch that sent me home crying to mommy.

The three little fuzzy wuzzy bears awoke from their cozy, cuddly nap - it wasn't time to hibearnate yet. It was yet another bluebird day in Squampton, where the sun always shines, except maybe on planning processes. They checked carefully for p'terodactyls, trolls, sasquatches, Werners, peregrines, and other monsters, after first clearing their heads with some coffee. It turned out that the fairy princess had only been their imaginations. But WHAT imagination! Anyway, they were hooked on the wall, alert to poisoned apples, had put on their magic slippers (but no magic underwear - sorry, Mitt), and were ready to continue with the ride of the Valkyries and other Wagnerian stuff that Bruce-troll had warned them about.

Our intrepid heroes struggled valiantly on, slaying real and not so real demons and monsters in profusion. The rock ran red with the blood of the beasts, or was it the rays of the setting sun? No matter, the incoming Rain of Doom would wash the wall clean. Hopefully though it would not wash the bears away with it - they had kilometres to go before they slept. Or at least some hooks and bashies and stuff. Hopefully the time would not come when they cried to the princess in her tower on Dance "Tamipunzel, Tamipunzel, let down your fair hair!". She might cry out "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", fearing that the big bad wolf had escaped from Idaho and was hiding in one of their haulbags. "My, what big footfangs you have" she'd say, before being devoured.
To be continued, perhaps much later ... bedtime stories needn't just be at night.

So we decided to push the push to a siege. Turns out it gets dark pretty early this time of year, which makes climbing multiple pitches a day hard. TKC took longer than anticipated for the roof pitch, and got scared of bathooking in the dark. I got frustrated with the slow progress, as I was comparing aiding to free climbing, and Brownie just didn't care.
So we came down. However the high point is fixed, and luckily there aren't usually lineups for this route.

Wayno and I are about to head north. It's 8 pm now, so I figure we'll be parking the car below the Chief about midnight. Probably take us a couple of hours to hike to base and jug your lines, so what's that? About 02:00? Somtehing like. And given that you guys probably won't get up until 08:00, and then you'll spend another two hours over breakfast, and at least an hour after that just getting yourselves to the base, we'll have plenty of time.
In fact, I reckon we'll probably be up and over the top by the time you guys get anywhere near your fixed ropes, so everything will probably look just like you left it, and you won't even be able to tell that we aced you.
F*#kin' kids...

Perry, you scared the buhjeeezzuss out of us. What a bold line, I got two bolts out the mark of zorros pitch and ran out of juice, the previous pitch was mentally taxing and long. Rope is fixed.. Will continue with updates of our siege effort some time in the new year.
Luke; over and out

Luke, you really need to go up there and sit out a serious storm. After that, you'll be shaving every day. Nothing puts things into perspective better than good old Mother Nature screaming in your face.

If I told you grasshoppers the moral of the story, you might not learn anything.
But it's always good to have someone tell you a bedtime story.

The moral of the story is that we are all immoral in our own special way. And Immortal. Woot.

I simply can't wait to see the first part of The Hobbit. The first real book that I ever read, and a classic bedtime story. Full of imagination, and better still opening on December 14th. I'm not sure if there will be any princesses in it, but there'll certainly be trolls, dwarves, hobbits, wizards, elves, and other neat stuff. Who wants to do a field trip to see it?

Sieging is a Squamish tradition. Fix a pitch, pub, two weeks later fixthe next pitch etc.
Luc had his haul bag rigged up like a scarecrow complete with a jacket and pants so that when he left it hanging/fixed at his highpoint it looked like a body. He got told he had to stop that after one too many 911 calls from tourists.

HAHAHA! Nice story Opo.
Does LM still live around here?
Just found out Perry was in the parking lot, cash in hand, betting on us bailing.. No one wagered in our favour..
Betting against us or not its still damn cool that he came out to root us on!
