Hi I spent 5 weeks there, and loved it, It has a bit of every thing walls slabs cracks, (fingers and fists). Lower Malamout (which is now closed due to realy colse proximerty to the rail way line, you belay off it at times) has some ausome single pitch routes, a finger crack at 5.11 and dihedral at 5.10 if you get caught have $120 ready and be awear that you might be putting other areas at risk of closure . On the main face, I think it is the split piller at 5.10/11(if it all gets to much you can rap off at prity much any point) and u wall,C2 or 5.12, worth a visit even if just aid. Angles fear to tread is a bit bumberly, but has a lot of history and is a must do with the hard stuf at the bottom (dont listen to the locals, they will tell you it will take all day and night and it is 10 grades harder). If you climb any thing below 5.11 it will be realy polished, so try and walk the extra 10 mins to the next crag, and avoid the blufs if you arnt a fan of polished granit. The ocan view bar (i think it is called) is full of locals, dose not brew its own beer so you dont wake up with a heenus head the next day, has girly night every thursday and a very nice bar girl that got on well with my brother. all in all you'll have a ball. If you want a tick list give us your grads that you climb and I will dig up my guid book.
