Upper Black Dyke
In the winter of 2008-2009, Kelly Franz, a smattering of friends, and I cleaned up the Upper Black Dyke route on the Squamish Chief. A number of climbing routes gain Bellygood Ledge at two-thirds height of the wall. This route is perhaps the easiest way to the rim. Here are some tidbits from the cleaning project.
