Comments: Great climb! For what its worth I just slung both ropes during the raps and fed them out on the way down. Made life a lot easier and gets rid of the pain of getting the ropes down the low angle slab.

Comments: Strenuous is putting in nicely in regards to the chimney on the first pitch. Be ready to grunt and squeeze your way up this thing. The second pitch is a lot of fun, just be ready for a chimney of the squeeze variety to get there. And be careful pulling your ropes after the rap. We got our ropes stuck, unstuck, and then stuck again. And then pulled a rather large flake off once we got the ropes free.

Comments: Fun route, and it makes the short hike up a little more worth it when climbed with Edges and Ledges. As mentioned before, there are a few loose rocks on this one, the loose rock near the last bolt appears to still be there and is currently marked. There are some loose rocks to the right as you move up towards the anchors as well, but they are pretty easy to avoid.
I did have a hold blow on me though right at the first bolt. It wasn't really on route per se, but I imagine I'm not the o... more >>

Comments: This is a fun climb and one of the best 5.8 climbs I have come across in BC. I was just there yesterday, and the poison ivy is just starting to leaf out. So it would probably be safe for a bit longer, but you could see that once its in full bloom it would be EVERYWHERE in the immediate area. In reference to the comment above, I'm not sure why you would belay from the first bolt, that seems needless since there is an obvious belay spot at the bottom of the route. This can safely be done with a 6... more >>

Comments: Climbed this yesterday and had another hold break off just above the second bolt. The moves to get to the roof feel harder than low 5.10 to me. I think the holds that were originally in the middle section of the route must have broken off, because it's really thin until you reach the roof and definitely not 9+ as the guidebook states. The move to pull the roof is fun, but getting there isn't all that enjoyable.

Comments: Honestly I'm not sure why this is listed as a mixed route. Placing gear here for any purpose other than practice seems a bit excessive. There is a bolt on top of the ledge halfway up that can be reached before pulling up on top of the ledge if you feel you need more protection. I carried gear up it and never felt it was necessary to place it.
