Route: Dierdre Route on the Apron Climbed: Sep 4, 1994 Party: Josh Location: Squamish Arrived at 9:30 with another party, who let us go ahead of them, Making us the second on the route. 1st pitch Josh, 10 meters, unprotected, to large tree. Second pitch Josh, 40 meters. Work to left where it is possible to set protection in cracks on dikes. Belay at bolts at bottom right of crescent. Third pitch Tom, 15 meters. Unprotected traverse of face to get into bottom left of crescent. Fourth pitch Tom, 45 meters. Climbing begins. Layback up dike at left of crescent, then step out of crescent and continue straight up dike. Semi-hanging belay at 2 bolts and 1 pin. Fifth pitch Josh, 40 meters. Similar to fourth, but a little harder. There was a wet spot about 10 meters above the belay, which was a little difficult to get around. Belay at 2 bolts, on face, 1.5 meters right of a "roof" (Josh missed the bolts and climbed past then down climbed.) Sixth pitch Tom, 45 meters. Continue up dyke. Route is less steep, but rock a little slicker. Protection about every 15 ft. Belay at 2 bolts, comfy. Seventh pitch Josh, 45 meters. Continue up dyke. Route gets easier and protection thinner. Then, at end, way above last pro, (but above 2 dirt spots that would stop a slide), route gets steeper and dirtier. Climb that to arrive a small verticil wall with good pro, and a difficult move to get through small notch. Descend to right. Better to stay in forest where there is a good trail, than descend exposed slabs as book directs. [Route description written by Tom Unger]
