Angel's Crest (6b)
29 Jul 2020
The Mark of Zorro (7b+) Classic sky cragging starts off of ledge on top of the 2nd pitch of Krimo Gold and is Parallel to Zappa Crack. Wide 5.10 start to a ledge, the steep leaning layback is the crux but there is no real rest before launching out the wicked underclings across the steep wall, finishes in an awesome position along the arete. although the protection is abundant care must be taken to protect the early crux above the ledge, hanging on to place the gear accounts for much of the difficulty. Thanks Tony Chan!

The Grand Wall (6c) Fantastic!

Fantastic!
The Ron Zalko Workout (7a+) The best corner pitch on the Chief? steep and locker fingers in a double overhanging dihedral. At the apex of the steepest part the crack vanishes and the crux succumbs to a committed stemming sequence, a final stiff boulder problem guards the moves right to the belay stance - 40m bring a huge rack!

The Dean Hart Experience (7b) This was originally conceived and bolted by Dean Hart circa. 1986. Rumours and whispers circulated around the scene for a number of years about this prize before it faded from the collective consciousness. Lucky for me I am a Squamish climbing nerd and i never forgot. rebolting and slightly moving the line produced a wild and steep arete with max exposure although the crux comes from a brief jog left into a stem corner before moving back out onto the arete for a thrilling finale into the Calling p3 roof.

Borealis (7a+) This visionary or misguided route aimed to create a new finish to the end of Northern Lights, climbing through the new terrain created by the 2016 Zodiac rockfall. It had a short-lived life as one of the longest and most spectacular big freeclimbs on the Chief before having portions demolished in the 2021 Zodiac rockfall. :(

Dr Roctagon (7b+) #18 on on life bucket list. Find and establish a classic, overhanging, multi pitch sport climb on The Chief. Check. Cool and varied climb. pitch breakdown is 12a, 11d, 11c, 11b, 12c, 10a. Of course the single hardest section is a bit of a slab.
