squamish multipitch classics
|
spending a week in squamish in august. other than the grand wall, what are some 4-8 pitch 5.9-5.12 multipitch ultraclassics I need to do while I'm there? If its a 5.12 preferably only one pitch in that grade as I can't climb 4 .12 pitches in a row. |

Freeway! |
|
Grand Wall |
|
Not perhaps as hard as you might like, but I enjoyed these. |
|
Calculus Crack 5.9 |
|
The Snake on the Apron is a 5 pitch 9 that I thought was super fun. Snake |
|
Two newer possibilities: |
|
I very, very highly recommend both Borderline and Blazing Saddles. |

Angels Crest is really cool! It starts with a tree climb! You can end it with High Plains Drifter which is spectacular; solid 5.11 but only 2 pitches. |

Millenium Falcon (5.11)! I've also climbed Squamish Buttress, Angels' Crest, Europa, Sunblessed, Calculus Crack, and for long, multipitch routes, Millenium Falcon was my favorite. |

The new guidebook has a Top 100 list, and this is a good place to start. Some of the routes mentioned above are great choices, while others .... not so much. |
