sorry Rowan, I'm just bored and being stupid, It's rained here for the last month and a half, hence the "smack talk" location. :wink:

Sounds like the west coast of Cananda is just like the west coast of NZ!
Speaking of which, Charleston (west coast of SI) has some sweet granite sea cliffs!

Plenty of routes, no multi-pitch though.
These will give you a rough idea of what is there:

That's like a weeks worth of dry climbable weather.

Thats what I was thinking too.
Especially for slow climbers like me!

Love those Charleston shots sba ! Especially that face profile. I climbed there a lot when first learning but never noticed the face !
I love the place because it so unique. It may not have sporty hard crankin routes but thats not the sort of crag it is. Being run out & getting sprayed by the big swells breaking is certainly an experience you don't get anywhere else. Not in NZ anyway.

Thanks.
I wish I could take credit for the really cool photos, but I am the subject rather than the photographer in most of them.
The face was a total fluke. It just happened to turn out that way. As soon as you lighten the photo at all, the detail shows up and the face completely dissapears.
dude which grade conversion chart are you looking at..... ?
