| The Pickled Samurai (7a+) | Crag classic and one of nicer .12a's on Squamish granite. |

| Shaolin Sunroof (6c) | Good trad challenge, the crux comes early but there isn't really any easy climbing above. |

| The Pickled Samurai (7a+) | One lap to suss out the moves, one lap to suss out the gear and a final lap to put it all together. An outstanding climb with great stone and varied moves up the most striking face on the wall. Would have been nice to be brave enough to go for the on-sight, but the tiny gear at the crux scared me off. |

| Photosynthesis (6c+) | Power laybacking and face climbing up the wall left of the Time Slips Away. A few of the slots were wet when I did this so it was hard to judge difficulty. Lots of climbing packed into a short route. Bring a medium cam for the top or prepare for a bit of a runout. |

| Idolatry (6c+) | Tricky, gear-protected face climbing to a short finger crack at the top. I climbed it three times to suss the moves and gear before committing, since it seemed kinda' scary (to me, anyway). |

| Paul's Corner (7a+) | I climbed the 5.9 crack to get a top-rope on this, rushed the process of figuring out the moves and gear and then proceeded with a very poorly executed headpoint. One of the nuts I placed blocked the best part of a fingerlock and then I trapped the rope against my body trying to clip the crux cam – mild panic ensued. Made it through, luckily, but learned a lesson about respecting the process a bit more... |

| Ryan's Route 3 (7b+) | I thought this was similar in difficulty to the more direct variant on the left, but of a totally different character. It took me two sessions to figure out the stem beta, which is cryptic. |

| Ryan's Route 2 (7b+) | This is the gently overhanging face route right of The Pickled Samurai. The initial bulge is the crux and involves some cool compression moves. The upper roof is easier, but that didn't stop me from flying off it on red-point. One of the crag's best routes. |

| Colin's Route (6c) | Sport route right of First Love. Thin, technical moves near the ground and a strenuous bulge near the top. Requires a couple of hand-sized cams for the final crack below the anchor. |

| Shaolin Sunroof (6c) | Strung a top-rope from Otera and then tried the moves and gear placements. Good climbing, but trickier than it appears with a finicky cam placement near the ground. A number of technical cruxes to keep you on your toes! |

| Otera (6b) | Really good gear-protected crack and face climbing. The bottom half is technical and the top is more physical. Solid stone and good gear throughout. |

| Furry Angel (6c+) | Awkward face climbing to an interesting boulder problem getting above the protruding "tongue". I tried to grovel in the corner but it was too wet so I had to commit to what I think was the intended sequence. Nice position on the arete. |

| First Love (7a) | Climbs the striking yellow streak to a steepening at the top. A very nice climb with good variety including the micro crack at the top where I placed a grey and purple Metolius cam. A recommended pitch. |

| Ryan's Route 1 (7b+) | The left-most route on the crag has a wild crux that's a bit scary for the left shoulder. I extended two bolts so that I could clip them before I did the hardest moves. Very techy climbing with an awkward rightward traverse at the top. |

| Solar Panel (7b) | Lots of good climbing packed into a short route. Well bolted, too. Crimpy, technical face climbing that reminded me of some climbs at Skaha. Unbelievably mild for February 4th! My second route of 2024... |
