We are pleased to announce that Jeremy Blumel made the first ascent of The Pegboard (5.12) on the Apron in Squamish, BC.
First cleaned by Evan Stevens in 2010, the line sits high on the Apron right before the last steep hand crack of St. Vitus Dance. According to Stevens, the line involves a lot of gear on locker fingers with no feet to a slow rising traverse.
