Spicy, awesome climbing!
Definitely scarier when you don't bring some finger sized gear! A super route and one of my more memorable ascents at Skaha.

Incredibly good!
Long, varied climbing on incredible rock. Very thin move up high at the crux.

Another Skaha classic.
I began thinking I should have waited for this route to be a little shadier as I sweated and greased to the chains. Totally enjoyable, but I felt real pressure to keep moving in certain sections.

Sustained and technical.
Really enjoyed this one and felt the rock quality was incredible. It had some thought provoking moves that took some time to figure out.

One of the best sport routes at Skaha!
Did this as the last route of our three day Memorial weekend trip. Probably should have tried it when I was a litter fresher, but I still managed to hang on to the chains. As everyone says, its an incredible route and well worth getting on. Awesome moves, great views and a really cool finish.

Hang Dog ascent by:
An incredible route!
Climbed this one in prefect weather and perfect conditions. The first pitch was the definite crux for me! The roof crack on pitch 3 was incredible! Pitch 4 felt way harder than the listed .10a, but other than that it was an amazing day on a superb classic!

Great high stepping practice!
I onsighted this one years ago but had real trouble on it the other day. Its pretty easy through the first two bolts, but getting to the third can be quite the challenge. The crux involves a high step and thin lieback to reach a finger lock, then thin edgy climbing to the belay from there. Its actually a pretty good route and a lot cleaner than it looks.

Rivaling Chicken Spread for biggest sandbag at Dishman!
This route is one of my favorites, but lets be fair, its at least .11a. It was formally a sketchy trad. lead and it still retains some spice, even with the new bolts. PG-13 if you don't have a 2" cam for the start.

Old school, burly and awesome!!
Linked into the second pitch of this route after doing Illusions and wondered if climbing could get much better? The second pitch is amazing and not for the faint of heart. Its filled with burly hand and fist cracks, a roof traverse and sustained funkiness above! I wished I had 3 blue Camelot's and was so glad to have at least one #4. The last pitch starts on the far right side of the huge ledge above p2 and involves a series of tricky slab moves with poor gear to reach a 3/4" crack in a roof. This was not totally obvious to us at first and a fall here would suck. I would give this pitch a pg 13 rating.

Spectacular line!
Scraped and clawed for the onsight on this one, barely!! An incredible climb which starts off with thin hands and fingers then moves into difficult flaring thin fingers followed by a short wide section. A final thin crack and short off-width section take you to the belay. Great gear and really clean rock make this a classic among classics. Bring extra 2 inch cam's for the belay.
