攀登 in Whistler Region

Climbed three lines here, think they were W3-5.

Climbed the pillar twice, mock-led the slab and dogged up the mixed route to the left

2 falls.

Mostly 4th class with optional low 5th sections. Recommend going into the bowl and doing the full ridge to get a view of the glacier. We also got to walk through a 150m long snow cave under one of the snow patches near the base of the route. Lots of loose gravel and boulders on the lower part of the ridge slowed us down, as well as photos of all the mushrooms on the walk. The upper part of the ridge took all of about 15 minutes, with much less loose rock. Wouldn't normally bother roping up for that at all, but it got things moving faster. The walk to Cypress Peak took longer than wanted, but we got to see massive grizzly tracks, and then it was the walk down a super long esker back down to the road and jogging back to the car. About 9.5 hours total, could probably wipe almost 3 hours off if going solo.

Don't use the Roe Creek approach it's horrible. Go up via Chance Creek FSR and follow it up to the highest clearcut where a good trail picks up to take you to the alpine. See altus mountain guides blog for good beta. This route is a classic must do. Not too hard but spectacular position!

Felt tougher than the V4 to the left of it.

Great warm up!

Really neat! Thought I could skip the first right hand crimp by going all the way up to the pocket first with my left hand, then had to drop into it anyways with my right hand ha ha

Nice climbing.

Should just be the start for Can't do it in shoes

fun problem! Link with Staircase (V4) for a fingertip traverse and jug top out

That top out is for real.

Tricky start with my lack of hip external rotation ha ha I had to power through and skip the intermediate.

Great movement that was physical and fun!

Fun day out scrambling, you can choose more challenging routes to make it up to 5.8

Blank in middle section, hugged the big crack on the right

Great first time climbing at Electric Edge! Was challenging as a warm up.
