Routes in Pacific Ranges for selected grade

Climbs the easternmost of the three major south buttresses of Combatant above the col. Approached via a bench at the elevation of the col (the Shelf)

Climbs the central, rectangular buttress above the Tiedemann icefall, gaining the Shelf. The FA party continued up Kshatrya directly above to the summit of Combatant, in a total of 5 days return trip.

Climb the black, lichen-covered depression in the south face, following corner systems to the east ridge, then to the summit.

Descend the pocket glacier to the base of the southeast buttress. Climb this buttress, through sandy broken terrain and with poor protection in places in the first ~75m. Above this, the rock improves up a steep yellow slab to a small gendarme. Descend into the notch and climb easier ground above to the summit.

Descend as per the West Ridge (down that route.)

Bolted as two very short pitches:

P1. 5.10c 4 bolts, 8m. P2. 5.8 4 bolts 8m.

Can easily be linked.

Tough bouldery start to more moderate climbing above.

Start with a layback climb into a really nice crack.

Easy climb to an inset area. Tough boulder over the overhang into a slabby finish.

Climbs directly above the toe of the slab on edges and pockets

Another bolted crack.

New route (Jul 2023). Start 50m up the hill lookers left of the start of Centurion, in a small clearing

Heads up the longest section of wall in the area.

Follow the standard line up the first two pitches (5.7). P3: Follow a line of bolts up the arete (5.10c)

five or six precise technical moves. Finish by moving around the corner and back up. Direct finish is 11a

Follow the flake just right of Howe, It Goes. No bolts at the top

Climb past a fixed pin in a shallow corner right of Jesus Eyes. Continue up to a leftward traverse into a crack, pull onto the Wakey Wakey slab and climb to a high anchor. The name Bellevue was given to a 1962 climb graded 5.6 that seems to match the modern line of Fallout. The disparity in grades has created much confusion.

Start this excellent link-up by climbing to the first bolt of The Pass. Head left and up to the Horrors Of Ivan cave, then traverse leftward to finish at the top of Mr. O'clock.

Follow a technical, angling ramp. For 5.10b, step up at the second-to-last bolt and foot traverse the ramp.

Begin with Staples of the Gluten Intolerant but continue straight up the corner to some small roofs. Finish with some face climbing and slanted ledges. Good 2-3 size cam between bolt 2 and 3.

Through low overlap then up thin crack

A tribute to a friend, stellar climber and awesome human Marc Andre LeClerc (1992 - 2018 (RIP). Fun face climbing on either side of right arete.

Quality crimps and slopers up the Arete.

The crack 5m right of A Show of Hands, starting up the ramp to the right.

Boulder up the short arete right of Hypertension

The crack 3m to the right of Entrance Exam.

Turn south off the main trail at the start of the descent, and go for 10m before starting down the first small gully towards the top of Alex's Room. The bolted steep dyke in the gully.

Can do a direct start at 11a, or traverse in from the right for 10d

Third pitch after Kicking Mule and Hot Pants.

There are two variations for the first half: either going between the two quadrilateral roofs, or staying to the right of both.

Similar start as Super Bad. Stay more right after the first ledge, heading toward a roof with good underclings. Traverse slightly right at the roof, then continue up.

Shares anchor with It's a New Day.

Crack to alcove below roof then up left into dihedral

Short and sweet. First route you encounter.

The left-most route. Climb up along the flake and into the unique pothole feature!

The route in the middle. Start on good edges then go right into the undercling then up.

The right-most route. You can start standing on the rock, clip the first bolt, then move left and up.

Second route from right on the LEFT wall.

SR from #0 Met to #3 BD, 2x #1 Met - #0.75 BD

Clip a bolt and follow cracks through a little roof into a right facing corner. Move up left on jammed blocks (bolt) to a ledge. A few balancy crux moves lead up the arete, then consistent and fun climbing up the crack. Named for a wild ride taken when a block trundled with a car jack caught the bottom step of my etrier on its way past.

SR from #0 Met to #2 BD, 2x #.75 - #1 BD

The original start to Candyland, it ends at the first pitch anchor. Gain the small right facing corner with an awkward start and follow it to a ledge. Continue up easy terrain, then right when possible past a bolt to finish on the face.

SR from #0 Met to #1 BD, 2x #1 - #3 Met

Fun, well protected climbing leads to the top of the wall and a great view of Howe Sound.

• P1: Start up jugs on the right side of the slender buttress. Stem, layback, and face climb past bolts and gear up the buttress to finish at an anchor on the left at a small ledge. Fun and technical climbing with multiple cruxes (4 bolts).

• P2: Follow the small buttress up cracks and face holds to a neat crux stemming or laybacking past two bolts (3 bolts).

• P3: Climb a crack in the wall above the belay. Move right when possible, clip a bolt, and stem higher until it’s possible to make an engaging step right onto the main face. Cruxy slab moves past bolts (easily aided) lead to an anchor (6 bolts).
• P4: A tough move at the first bolt leads to easier slab climbing. At an overlap, step left past a bolt and continue to an anchor on a beautiful ledge (6 bolts).

The first route at Above It All follows finger and hand cracks to the top of the wall.

• P1: Start up the detached boulder, head left past a bolt, and make your way to a handcrack. (1 bolt)

• P2: Climb cracks and flakes through the steep wall. Hidden jugs on both sides keep the grade reasonable. (6 bolts)

• P3: Climb the sweet splitter through a cool undercling crux. Where it ends before a tree, step right and up to the anchor.

• P4: Follow the curving flake above and face climb past two bolts. Step right at the third to gain a fun crack and follow it through the steepening wall to the top (3 bolts).

Rap the route with a single 70m rope.

Gear: .2 - 3, (2x) .3 - 1, nuts.

A wild adventure up a majestic wide corner. Highly recommended.

Gear: (1 - 2x) .4 to 6

A good climb for people with little hobbit hands.

Gear: (1x) .2 to .5, (2x) .75 to 1, (1) 2

Climb steep double handcracks to a ledge, then enter the chimney and prepare to battle the balrog.

Gear: (2x) .5 to 3
