We are pleased to announce that Jason Green and Peter Winter have completed a new multi-pitch route on the New Delhi Cliff in Squamish, BC called Delhi Belly (5.12b, 5 Pitches).
Delhi Belly, 5.12b, 5 pitches
Jason Green, Peter Winter June 2016
The signature new line up the Dehli Cliff. Mostly moderate climbing with a face hard crux at mid-height. Save some juice for the wild roof traverse pitch.

Essentials
-Gear Route.
-No thin gear required
-60 Meter rope
-Single rack from blue metolius to .75 BD camalot. Doubles of #1 and #2 BD camalot (and #3 but not nessessary). -Single set of nuts
-Bolted anchors
Pitch 1, 35m, 5.10b
Start up the left trending finger crack. After the bolt, climb up right past small ledges to gain the next diagonal crack. Belay on the big ledge.
Pitch 2, 15m, 11a
Start up the left facing dihedral with confidence. Handjams follow and take you up to the anchor which is out left on a small ledge.
Pitch 3, 25m 5.12b
Gain the dihedral for a move or two and pull over to a rail below a bolt. A very bouldery sequence gets you into a nice flake. Continue up the flake to the next set of bolts and the crux. Easier climbing continues up to the belay.

Pitch 4 15m 5.10d
The corner slowly widens and steepens. Average rock quality. Belay just over top of the pillar.
Pitch 5, 20m, 5.12a
Climb past the stump and clip a bolt. Good feet let you place some gear then it’s game on. Undercling your way on mostly good holds. Better feet await as you reach the bolts. Get some rest then pull your way up and around the corner. A final hard move guards the anchor.

Descent
Rap 20m straight down to a station. Full 30m diagonal rap to the anchor at the base of pitch 3. Rap the rest of the route. The last one to the ground is a rope stretcher.
Special thanks to Jason Green and Peter Winter for putting up these routes! Give them a thanks next time you see them!
