We are pleased to announce that Stu Smith has made the first ascent of one of his projects located in the Rehabilitation Area in Cheakamus Canyon area. The route named Babe Doy (5.12d;13+), is located on the west side of the highway, climbs up the cliff opposite the salt shed. The first pitch goes at 12d and the second pitch goes somewhere in the 13+ range. According to Stu, it is harder than some v10’s he has done, so if anyone is up for the challenge, the prestigious second ascent is still up for grabs!
