Lets Climb The Chief, Squamish,B.C.

Prezwoodz

After 13 pitches or so we finally topped out.6 hours later and we were on the summit overlooking Squamish. It was an incredible day and the largest climb of my life.

Starting up the Apron on the Diedre route. This is around Pitch 3 or 4.


John takes a break before the tuffest pitch a 5.10c.


After the 5.10c is a short scramble to the final pitch and then UP!


And of course the obligatory summit shot.


This is our route. This shot taken by coldclimb

What's a pitch?

Cool pics

Thanks for replying A pitch is usually considered a rope length which is 60 meters. But it is also just where you decide to climb and then belay your partner up and then continue climbing up.

Great shots! 1 and 3 are my favorites. It almost looks like a pentagon complex in #3, subdivision illusion.

I'm glad you guys are crazy enough to do it, so I don't have to! It must be fun, though...

That first and third really gives an idea of scale. Cool shots!
