The second pitch 5.11, or C1 Around the corner is a 5.10a pitch

Cooking supper on Thanksgiving ledge. This ledge is so big you can comfortably walk around it unroped.

Me jugging up the upper head wall of the South face. It’s common for people to fix ropes on the first 2 pitches above thanksgiving ledge on the first day, and finish on the second

Looking up pitch 3 on Bug Spire North East ridge. A 5.6 lay back crack, with great gear

This is me climbing the crux pitch on the south ridge. You exit left under the roof.

I like the pic of Simon. The contrast between the light and shade.

Ted belays while I stem my way up Humingbird

Here I am on Mixed company, cliping bolts were once you'd have to use manky cams.

pondering the next move a sandbaged 5.11a. Such is life in Cougar Canyon.

High, and at the crux of the 5.11a.

This is Toad Hall, a great wall with lots of moderate sport routes

Cougar Wall, home to the areas best trad lines and multi pitch routes.

This is about Half of the Lions Head. The chimneys have been climbed back in the 70's All the other lines have yet to be.

The topo for the South Ridge of Gimli.

Forty-one years after his first ascent on the University Wall, Hamish is still tagging first ascents.
