North America, Canada, Coast Range, Nightmare Rock, Traumatic Experience Route

Publication Year: 1966.

Nightmare Rock, Traumatic Experience Route. This direct ascent of Nightmare Rock, close to the Squamish highway, was completed in late November by Leif Patterson, Eric Bjornstad and me. There was an interesting piton start up an overhang and then some marginal direct-aid climbing; we used 15 bolts on a blank area.
