	Colin Moorhead Colin Moorhead Pitch and Putt (7b) North Face	Pitch and Putt (7b) North Face	Third ascent with PW, did the second ascent with Stanhope circa 2018. This time i lead every pitch and did the FA of a great direct finish straight up the arete the separates the north and east faces. 5.10c, 5.11d, 5.12b, 5.11b, 5.10c. All the pitches are great, pitch 2 is a standout thin splitter that vies for best in in its class in Squamish. Pretty amazing the Jason Ammerlaan did the FA of this ground up, solo in a day!	13 Sep 2022

	Colin Moorhead Colin Moorhead Alpine Elkhounds (6c) North Face	Alpine Elkhounds (6c) North Face	The last of the low hanging FA's on the main cragging sector. Beautiful little thin crack system featuring thin moves off the deck protected by a micro nut and/or cam. The well protected crux comes higher with tough section moving right into Freak Spirit.	24 Jul 2021

	Colin Moorhead Colin Moorhead Loyal Lion (7a+) North Face	Loyal Lion (7a+) North Face	Named in honour of my 20 year old tabby who passed away the day of the ascent. 50+ meter pitch from the ground. 5.10 crack climbing gives way to technical bolted face, leading to a spectacular arete, finishing with a heartbreaker crux in a final finger crack. I retroactively installed an anchor at a ledge at the top of the 5.10 to facilitate breaking it up into two pitches	31 Aug 2020

	Colin Moorhead Colin Moorhead Count Dankula (7a+) North Face	Count Dankula (7a+) North Face	Awesome spicy arete. Compression and body tesion between arete edge and thin crack. Good, thin protection is difficult to place and there is potential to clip a ledge if you blow it. Top rope rehearsal recommended. Great name.	11 Jul 2020
