Mara Crags - New Developement

The open Project at Mara Crags in Sicamous (bolted by Perry Cormier) has been climbed by Jacob Doyle in an On-Sight First Ascent:

Baldwyn's Outrigger 5.11b.

Needing an aggressive heel-toe cam for the crux while reaching high for the next hold makes the body feel like a crane, thus, "Outrigger". Check it out next time you are in Mara.

A new route appeared on the Lower Wall (far right) of Mara Crags graded 5.10d put up by Perry Courmier a left traversing arc route under a roof. No more info known currently.

A secondary note: a new project at Mara crags to the right of Baldwyn's Outrigger might be 5.12-

not fully cleaned yet and is not currently open for sending.

Kamloops Rockclimbing E-guide Available

Trevor Lott of Kamloops has been working over the winter to create comprehensive topos of all the climbing in the Kamloops area. He has released a large portion of them to the public. These cliffs have been climbed for some time now; however, no high quality guide has shown them in their entirety. The Link to the left will take you to Climb Kamloops. Drop him a line and let him know how much you appreciate the hard work. Thanks Trevor!

Rock Climbing Software- Excellent!

Its called Beta Creator. And what it does is allows you to quickly show of your routes. The program is actually quite good and easy to use. It is perfectly set up for showing the routes you know or have seen. I think it would shine best if used online where you can point out new routes or possibilities in minutes, though it would still definitely have application in a real book format.

Beta Creator

Download this and donate. And use it it to share your route ideas or to showcase your First Ascent!
