New Cheakamus four-pitch sport route

Gripped Magazine July 16, 2014

Conny Amelunxen and Tennessee Trent have established a new four-pitch 5.11 north of Squamish.

The Dingo At My Baby 5.11a is a fun looking new 5.11 that was cleaned, bolted and climbed in the spring of 2014. The route is in Cheakamus Canyon between Squamish and Whistler.

As reported on Squamish Climbing: Over the spring a few of us worked on and put a new route at the Outpost. The climb ascends a formation we called The Annex, a steep white wall to the right of Western Harlot. The climb is super aesthetic, with great views.

Two rappels will bring you back to the bottom of the climb. You can also walk off but it is a long way around to the base. There is a hand line on the walk off, which descends past the start of Western Harlot. There are pack rats around so if you leave any gear at the base of the route hang it in a tree or on the first bolt.
