A four star moderate on an incredibly popular wall with only one tick. Was it named after me? No, but the description seems apt enough |

Assuming you’re Ben Hubbard, say hi to St Francis, old man :) |

This climb is named in honor of the shape of one of its key knobs, from a film about a pregnancy gone wrong in a world gone mad. |

I’m about to be out of cell service for three weeks, if anyone else wants to take over please do. |

Knob job? |

(I was thinking of Eraserhead, btw, I guess I have no idea if the FA intended this but one of the knobs look exactly like the cheeks of The Lady In The Radiator.) |

Up a bit further north, you'll get the name of this easy chimney route when pigs fly. |
|
The route's a common evening lap/solo for climbers staying at one of the main campgrounds in the area |

Classic crack |

Further north across the border, and further west. |

Sunshine chinney |

Yep! |

Speaking of flying, this testpiece has two distinctly different parts. The first half is steep pumpy sport climbing, only there are no bolts anymore. The second half is some groovy climbing up a unique feature that might look easier but can spit you off at any moment. |

Challenger? |
|
Yes indeed |

Well then I guess I'll keep with the geographic theme from the last few. Especially considering it was just British Columbia day or something. I learned the scientific name for this method of birth control from the left most of these two diagonal 5.12 cracks. Originally I thought the fa just named it this because it's funny, but after inspecting it, I realized it's probably because on glacier polished granite the gear usually wants to pull out |
