Minor Threat – V6
Description:
Sit start right of the arete matched on an undercling. Climb straight up the arete before pulling left into some edges and topping out. Classic, and often touted for needing technical wizardry to deal with some holds on this route.

-
Wes Goodman: Too tall to do the right hand cross? Pinch the arete between your feet and flick to the left crimp. Then get the high heel, pop right hand in, left foot up, and finish as usual.
-
zoebeauchemin: hawaiian shirt or no shirt needed -
lloydlee: right hand cross before the triple bump.
-
omaralsaman: Thug and hug baby

2023-05-14Harder than it looks! -
-
Good god. The number of times I fell off the top when the conditions were good… and then the severe backslide when it started to warm up. Let’s just say I’m glad I put this one to rest
-
Woo hoo! Almost felt like v6 today
-
A boulder from my early Squamish days that instilled my opinion that V6 is harder than V7. -
Felt very hard for a V6. Consistent throughout even though there are many ways to do it.
-
Assorted goods. -

2023-03-09Fell off the last move several times! -
dabbed, but i don't have sponsors. my ego can take it. -
2023-01-24I hate this boulder so much that i love it. i always tend to end my session on this boulder and it lets me know when it's time to go home, lol. must do. -

Day flash! Knew it was just a matter of time. Great moves, a little bit of everything: crimps, slopers, toe hooks, heel hooks, even a crack for good measure.
-
-
So happy to have sent this after so many years of trying. -
Tried it a couple years back and fell off the last move. Went down quickly today after I relearnt the beta.

Soooo many seshs... -
-
My salvaged send after punting on golden boy and surrounding climbs. Actually really neat! Being extremely tired made the topout quite desperate.
-
Most fun I’ve had working a Boulder problem, so psyched on this one!!!! Very beta intensive.

2022-07-01Really hard, maybe bad beta...
-
Loved this problem - highly recommend. Very beta intensive. Pretty well covered if its raining, but it can continue to seep onto some of the foot holds / start hold after the rain has finished
-
So good! Fantastic compression on edges and slopers -
Post gym sesh. Biceps are so wrecked now. -
Scummy heels galore. Rain send, 3rd go -
So good

This was a journey for me. Four sessions.

Squeeze!

Really good! It’ll spit you off if you get the sequence wrong. Both burly and techy
-
My favorite boulder at squamish so far! -
5th try -
Third try, technical boulder. Kept right hand on good hold and bumped left hand far out left

Pretty sweet climb. Definitely suits my style.
-
-
This thing was a battle! Pretty beta intensive.. and long! Used an intermediate slopey crimp before the 2 finger divot to make bumping down the crimp rail easier. Super stoked about sending this! -
-
-
Hardest 6
-
Seems like you just have to grind away at this thing to find beta. This is a revenge send for Emily and Claire. -
Hated this climb until I figured it out.
-
Such a sick climb! Powerful and such nice movement, very psyched!
-
I don't think I've put more attempts into any other boulder. and I've only been trying this since last summer. What a learning experience! Thanks for the sandbag Rich! Also what Josh said below. -
Harder than Bigglesworth -
3rd try. Really sick movement, a little slippery, but all classics are, right?
-
Many years in the making -
tried more than any other boulder. ever -
Always thought is boulder was too hard for me, but Andrei sequence helped me send -

It took me so many sessions to send this...I will miss all the forest mice that scamper around during my night sessions.

2019-07-25Took a lot of beta and falling from the top

This was a bit of a nemesis for me. Once sent it feels like the grade... i was convinced it was harder or just not my style. Beta was super cool.

Finally!!! This thing has been a proj for some time now. Probably at least 5 sessions over the years of coming back and forgetting beta. Felt really good to take this thing down once and for all.
-
Hard - very good movement! Climbs much better than it looks
-

Got shut down hard in prior years, but some well timed smack talk and encouragement helped me send -

Great compression climb. Better when temps are low!
-
Didn't think it was as hard as everyone says it is. Many ways to do it.
-
nice movement. -
-
The highest quality. So fun!
-
fell at the last move about 15 times before sending. fun moves
-
Didn’t like it very much -
Finally
-
Dur de linker les moves. Devrait etre un Top 100. -
Very cool. Flubbed the beta at the and almost ruined it. -
Had to dig deep. Should have given Austin worse beta.
-
Took a couple sessions. Cryptic, slick, and powerful
-
Nemesis slain. Turns out the beta was try hard. Would be better if it wasn't caked in chalk. -
-
2018-05-28Harder than many v7s in the forest. -

Took 3 sessions of falling to finally take her down! so psyched. I owe this send to my Hawaiian shirt.
-
I seriously love this boulder problem! Super fun footwork delicate moves, powerful moves, a heads up finish! So sick! First Squamish 6
-
-
Fun climbing.
-
First after work session this year! This thing is full on until the very end. So much beta... Hate it while figuring out all the beta, but love it once you send it.
-

2018-04-22Sustained moves. Classic problem -

A long time nemesis of mine goes down. Super solid 6 imo.

Got shut down on this last year, sent this year!!

Can't believe it took me 3 years to try this rig. Very fun movements on good blocky holds. -

Chill boulder session after an awesome day of playing catch in the river and exploring for DWS with MG.

Attempted 26 times for my 26th bday and had to drink a beer per failed attempt... sent 20 times, and drank 6 beers. I love this problem!

So good. Felt very Yosemite-like. 3rd go with beta from Derrek-san.

Really happy with this one, had some good, flowy beta and took it down in one session this trip. Definite progress since 2013...

2014-07-26finally, kept trying to go for the sloper at the end then first try going for the slot jug gaston with my left hand, sent

Very beta specific (thanks Michelle!), an awesome problem. My first Squamish 6, so psyched!

I got on the climb and just went for it. I really surprised myself with getting it first go, it being my first for the grade. Great problem that I'd recommend for anyone who finds pleasure in pulling on rock!
-
Fun problem. Took a few tries to do the big span.

This has been my biggest project to date. Many days spent working out beta with a friend - felt great to top this out! Amazing movement with toe-hooks, heel hooks, crimping, pinching, slopers, underclings and sidepulls. -
kinda challenging, sent it first go after working it, must have been having a bad day -
My all time favorite climb in Squamish. Most epic movements ever!
-
Michelle thanks for beta...;)
-
Oh my microbeta. Heel when? Undercling why? Crimp how? Proud send for me :)

Decent problem. Low in the grade. Not sure why people like it so much... -

Good quality, do this one if you are looking for a V6 in Squamish.

So stoked to finally get this one! -

I actually despise this climb. Mega arch nemesis. Took me way too long to send. Can't even remember the amount of times I fell off the top.
-
Second V6. Two sessions. Hated it till I did it, and haven’t been able to do it again

Toughy but a must do! -
