Do Not Collect $200 carves a bold line up the Gonzales Creek Wall, prominently located in the rugged beauty of Squamish, British Columbia. This single-pitch trad climb demands a combination of power and finesse, starting just left of the anchor below a compact, fierce roof. The route picks up immediately where Go Directly to Jail leaves off, but it's no warm-up lap—this extension tests your upper body strength and precision with a challenging teeter-layback sequence along a sharp arete. The climb offers about 100 feet of sustained 5.12a crux moves, blending technical rock features with physical endurance. The rock itself feels alive under your fingers, slightly textured, offering dependable positive holds even on the overhung sections.

Gonzales Creek Wall faces a northwest aspect, catching morning light before slipping into afternoon shade, making it an ideal choice for spring and fall ascents when the sun's warmth matters most. Approach is straightforward but requires a keen eye: a short trek from the Squamish town center pushes you through dense forests thick with the scent of cedar and fir; birds sing intermittently while the creek’s flow below dares you onward. Wear footwear with sticky rubber and pack a rack featuring Metolius nuts alongside a double set of cams ranging from small to medium (#0 to #2 BD). Seven bolts pepper the route, providing reliable protection, but the route also demands strategic use of gear placements throughout the layback to guard against the roof’s undercut challenges.

Safety here hinges on solid crack placements and careful body positioning during the airy crux. While the rock tends to be sound, be aware that the roof section demands controlled breathing and punchy moves—hesitation invites the risk of falling onto lower protection. The exit is smooth once past the crux, rewarding climbers with clean jugs and a confident finish. Expect a handful of other climbers, though this extension tends to draw those seeking high-intensity difficulty rather than casual fun.

Descending is straightforward, with a single, well-maintained rappel to the base, allowing for quick recovery before you continue exploring Squamish’s famous granite playground. Always scope weather forecasts to avoid wet or slick conditions, especially late in the season, as the creek's spray can dampen holds unexpectedly. Hydration is crucial; the exertion and focus this climb demands require sustained energy, so bring ample water and plan your day around cooler hours.

In all, Do Not Collect $200 represents a sharp, adrenaline-infused experience blending precise technical movements with Squamish’s unmistakable wild charm. It’s perfect for seasoned climbers ready to engage fully with the rock’s demands and the raw energy of the North Shore’s climbing culture.
