Matt Bolton rides down where others climb up
"Burgers and Fries" it should be. That's the name of the climbing route that Matt Bolton has set himself. He chose a not quite vertical granite slab in Squamish. He first abseiled down the wall and climbed around it for a long time until he found the perfect spot for his short but intense descent, he writes on Instagram. Various cracks, depressions and countless bolts could have prevented a clean descent and led to disaster. Bolton had to find a line between all the obstacles, whereby he could only go straight down.
Once he had found his line, he had to get a carpenter friend to build him a ramp that allowed him to drive away at the foot of the wall.
The final challenge is the many climbers who are also on the wall on Matt's day X. They give him space for his show. For his show, they give him the space and enjoy the performance, tells Bolton Pinkbike. He had warned everyone involved that he would turn around and call it a day if he wasn't feeling well. "But once I rolled over the edge, I knew it would work perfectly." And it looks like it did.
