Ascents of Penny Lane having Beta

Such a beautiful crack! Hard little layback at the start. So many rests

Alternate start from the chimney on the right.

First tie-in in Squamish, granite is slippery but jams be jugs, yo.

Nearly sent it on TR... maybe will project it one day

Super fun. A bit slippery

2nd. Classic route

I really wanted to do if but didn't particularly enjoyed, maybe because I didn't feel very comfortable on the trad anchor. Very polished.

Nice moves the whole way up

Deserving of the hype. Super fun and classy climbing throughout. Stoked Bec could join in on this one

Still fun. Warmup and a little wet

Great climb, my first 5.9 on trad turned into a bit of an adventure once I've spent 20 minutes at the top looking for the anchor that doesn't exist. Used the tree at the top as the anchor which was a bit far for the 70 meter rope to fully lower to the ground. In the process the rope also got stuck leaving me 10 meters above ground. Managed to get to the lower belay station for a climb on the left and free the rope to be lowered from there.

Protects well. Solid for the grade. Great crack climbing.

2x laps.

No fixed anchor at the top. build anchor on top of the ledge or use small tree. Walk of or rap down crime of the century anchor

Climbed wet

Slippery crux, otherwise quality movement.

Superb climbing!

One funky move with a finger locks with slabby feet lead to a rambly upper with good jams. Belay from tree/natural pro, deacent anchor climbers left. Wished I'd Brought more.nuts, it eats em.

Warm-up

AMAZING, clean seconding

Warm-up

Following old-mate.

An awesome, sustained route that varies from finger, hand and fist crack with a delicate finger crack start. 1 fall, 3 takes. Fell about a 3rd of the route up on a blue #11 DMM offset nut. Build a gear anchor to the right of the rap station. (0.3, 0.4 and 0.5). Walk to the left to a rap station. A 60m rope is just enough to get to the ground. I took triples of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.75. I'll be back!

What a great climb

This thing just screams at you to be climbed as you walk up the approach trail. Climbs just as good as it looks too.

Interesting footwork on the first part. Really nice to work on though.

Seconded Brendan as a warmup on his onsight.

Took Eleanor up this as her last climb of the day. Good times.

Best 5.9 in Squamish

Tim thinks this is the best 5.9 in Squamish. Required some trickery to avoid jamming with my broken foot. Still top-roping for the next few weeks. Injuries....

Warmup. Tim placed 4 pieces of gear on the whole route lol.

Busy but worth it. Great crack

Bouldery start off the ground!!! But 5.5 for the rest of it.

That's just how I felt, everything hot and greasy today

not as fun as everyone made out. caroline seconded but left some gear in for me to remove

beautiful, tree belay is a bad choice!

approx date only. awesome though!
