After several seasons in Squamish, this route was a real slap in the face. I remember getting pumped out of my mind on the thing. A local strolls up and tells me how easy it is, maybe even easy for the grade; he thinks an appropriate grade would be 11+. I'm thinking what a freaking dip this guy is. Life is wonderful, however, because a year later I run into the same guy in Squamish working on Black Water (12a) on the Pet Wall. The guy is getting his little fanny SPANKED. I rope up, sail through the climb, come down, and can you guess what I told him...

Still, this was only one of a handful of climbs I did in this area. I was really impressed with the rock, and the routes were all fantastic.
