Do not park in the residential neighborhood! Park in the designated lot MORE INFO >>>
There is an excellent parking lot available (thanks to the BC Climbers Access Society, I believe), but people continue to park in the residential areas anyway.

Description This is a sustained fingercrack and a great climb. Its often toproped but I found it to be a fine lead. Its rock is rather polished from TR traffic.
Location Its on the main wall of neat and cool left of the overhang and right of the dihedral the crack looks awesome splitting the face.
Protection Nuts, smaller cams.. you'll figure it out.

| Guidebooks and posts in various locations all reference the polish this climb has received from top rope traffic. I led it this Saturday; never having done it before I can't compare to some earlier state, but it really didn't seem polished, or at least it didn't seem harder than the grade would suggest. A very enjoyable and well protected climb. |

| Led it this past Friday, and it was a great and varied route, with tremendous texture on either side of the crack. Wish it could've gone on for another pitch. |

| Great climb, felt more 5.10 than some of the other stuff in the Bluffs. |

| A little polish might not be that bad, sharp crystal finger locks kind of hurt... |

| I think the polish is on the feet. Particularly near the crux there are some rather shiny ones. |

| Locker fingers. A bit polished from all the traffic but, the gear is solid so go for it! |

| One of the best climbs in the Smoke Bluffs area. Not that polished - still good friction, and great fingerlocks and gear. A must-do. |

| I slipped at the crux stance while resting and blew the onsight... But! I wouldn't say it's polished, just not great happy feet. The Zip is much better at 10a tho. |
