Never been there but many climbers from all over the world like Arapiles so it has to be good

Maybe Bigwall is more your style?

Or maybe jamming is your thing...

Um, gee...wow! Some awesome pics in this thread.. In particular, Squamish!

Thanks for the images y'all. I gotta get back to Squamish, I've only been once and totally lucked out on the weather for a week. 97 or 98? Cheakamus was rad too.

You said you like offwidth?

No....

No, I never said that.

Never said it and never will.

Offwidth is what high explosives were designed to solve.

Hey Mike!

I love crack, no doubt. I'll never forget the Sword, never.
I recognize that rock but I don't think I got on any of those...just the 2 or so .11s and a couple 'ez' .12s. After Cheak, we went to Whistler and went to the market there. I think it had produce from every corner of the world. I also found Roach armor in that zone, good times!

Nice pics, keep 'em coming!

Domes, domes, everywhere.

The Needles. The stuff of dreams

I agree if you're talking about South Dakota.

For masculine, manly athletics: Dakota sandstone.
