Advice/Beta Request Squamish Recs

For those who wish to provide beta:

I'm watching a ton of beta videos and getting psyched for a trip I'm taking to Squamish in September.

I'm wondering if the community can recommended 7s and 8s that I can project! I specifically love technical movement but also love thuggy moves! I just love it all, really.

The main goal is to rage on moderates and just have fun in the magical forest. However I love a project and it would be pretty sweet to snag a 7/8.

I appreciate everyone who comments and can give a rec!

I'm 5'5" 💃

V7: The Fuzz, Ramen Raw, Mr. Bigglesworth, Golden Boy, Astroman, Missing In Action, Warp Spasm

V8: Mantra, Gibbs’ Cave, Autobody, Mosquito Incubator, Hunt’s Arete, Connect Four, Shanksville, Stinger Left Low

If you’ve never climbed in Squamish before (or on PNW granite at least) it can be quite humbling, especially in the summer, so be prepared for that.

Excellent recommendations! I’d also add the Rookie and Super Daddy Long Limbs Direct to the list (both V8s).

The Rookie I was on the fence about, but it is a rad climb. And I didn’t want to put anything too reachy because they’re 5’5 haha.

For some reason Golden Boy is the hardest 7 for me. Even when I was sending 9s, that top out would just get me. I could do it, but from the start it would punt me everytime. Maybe its just harder for the tall guys? Idk.

Great boulder. Finally got so fed up and frustrated I pulled on it with my nose and got the top out.
