Aid Climbing

For solo aid, go do these routes in this order and you will have a good progression of good routes: Silver Harbour Dreamline C1, Stuffin Martha's Muffin C2 (Squaw Bay) then aid Test of Patience off those anchors with a top belay, Blade Runner A2 (Climbers Cliffs), American Demon A2 (Squaw Bay), Standing Tall Before the Man A2 Orient Bay (clip the bolts though and don't overdrive your pins cause it is gonna be a free climb), Fuck It C3 (Climbers Cliffs). Once you have done these or most of them let me know and I'll give you a progressional list of FA's to put up. Randy (thesedentarynomad@hotmail.com)

bouldering

there is a decent bouldering spot with free standing gneiss boulders out by pearl about 45min east of town. Drive east to pearl, note the rest stop on the north side of the highway. about 100m past this there is a gravel driveway heading N, this accesses a quarry from behind and is the alternate entrance (from the quarry you would hike south east to the cliff band and boulders). about 200m farther east on the highway there will be a lake on your right, park in the pulloff before the lake and hike across the highway and up onto a plateau with small free standing pink boulders over flat ground. some traversing problems have been scrubbed and a few four or five move problems. more exploration to the north will uncover a 45 degree wall about 100m wide and a couple of neat access routes up and down. A fun day of exploring if the bugs are not bad! Tell me if you like it, if not I'll send you somewhere else.

Sorry I'm not around there anymore, but I have done lots of solo aid there. I could recommend some routes specifically depending on your experience level, or a couple good bouldering areas.

I don't think you need much of a pin rack for this route because I remember it being mostly clean aid except for one tricky pin placement. I would bring a couple baby angles and a few blades. There are a couple loose rocks near the top of the second pitch that it would be great if your second could trundle on the way by it would make free climbing attempts more common I think. Also if you are looking for aid routes in T Bay, I've done them all I think and could give some recommendations on routes you would like.
