Polarwid checking out the next move on the Swamp Slabs at Granite Mountain. This area is incredible with 500 foot walls and awesome cracks in the center, and beautiful slabs and faces on the edges.

Doug Widdis (polarwid) on the roof of Shockley's Ceiling (5.6) in the Gunks wearing only a swami belt and boots. Dick Williams (one of the original Vulgarians) climbed Shockley's in the 60's in the nude just to shock the crowd at the hairpin turn. Inspired by the famous poster of this feat, I decided to repeat the climb the TRADITIONAL WAY!!!

Ser Visal's tail (HS 4b) is located on the south facing cliff of Coumshingaun. It's 35 metres and was first climbed in June 96 by C Gibbon and friend. The picture shows Paul McSweeney seconding on the route with Coumshingaun lake in the background. P

This is Fred (father in white) and Richard Aschert (son) on the first ascent of Touchy Situation. This route continues the line of Over the Rainbow to one of the most exciting hanging belays in the Garden, then straight up on loose flakes to the top of N

Climbing on a beautiful spring day on Son of Easy-O. The first pitch is great, with technical face moves to start out, and a nice crack farther up. Just as much fun as the famous second pitch. Photo by Dave Pleasance.

This is my favorite route on the drug wall. Protected by 6 drilled angles over 120 feet of climbing it has some excitement, but the crux friction moves are very well protected. I am just completing the crux traverse when my brother Dan took this photo.

Mike Dodds spending a hot summer's day climbing above the Cheakamus River on this fun 3 pitch 5.8. We miss you Mike. RIP photo: Dave Ferguson

A couple of climbers take a rest on the huge ledge at the top of the first pitch of this moderate (5.6) off-width climb. The secret is to stay the hell out of the crack and stem your way through: just make sure to bring some bigger gear!

Here I am on the first pitch of Overhang Bypass, 5.7, on Intersection Rock: one of the must-do's in Hidden Valley

here you can see where this formation got it's name from...this side, you can see a climber on Toe Jam, 5.7 but if you move to the other side you'll find a real gem: Double Cross

Here's a shot of a climber about half-way up High Mountain Woody, a 45m 5.8 with plenty of exposure

This climb captured our attention as soon as we saw it: a gorgeous corner crack that finished with an incredible arch. Gary hopped on this .10b and did a fine job onsighting it...

On the first ascent of the fourth pitch of this route (My Best Friend's Girlfriend, 5.11a/1pa) we weren't sure if you could chimney past this roof section or not: even with his helmet off (last frame) Sam couldn't manage the squeeze and was forced to nego

This enjoyable route...Being led down a path that at first seems paved with gold may cause you to dance. Ask questions before you follow another...is graded vs 4a.

Another pic from this very easy S route. Well within solo territry for an experienced climber like John. A good first lead for a newcomer to Gritstone.

Brian Chan on an early ascent of Last Rites (1986). Before the route had its free ascent in 1988 by Greg Barber and Dave Thomas.

Justo pasada la ùltima protección que tendrás hasta salir por completo del techo. Aquí vemos a Marcos entregado haciendo lanzamientos por los buenos cazos del techo.

Aquí vemos al "legendario"... (que come flor...) Marcos Bustamante en la muy técnica travesìa del segundo largo de esta ruta.

Janet Matthews does a superb job cleaning the long strenuous Split Pillar(10b). This finger to chimney pitch is over 40+ meters and one of the classic pitches on the Grand Wall. photo: Dave Ferguson
