P1 90’ 5.8 Start up low angle easy terrain, the wall gradually steepens. Belay at a cool hole, or link into the next pitch with potential for lots of rope drag.
P2 80’ 5.9 Climb a tricky move above the belay then step right and follow a corner to a wild rightward hand traverse. Then up an easier corner to a stance to belay.
P3 70’ 5.10- Traverse left along a narrow ledge to the sweet arete. At the 3rd bolt, make a step down (crux of route) and traverse left around the arete to hidden jugs. Climb the left side of the arete to its top. At the top of the arete, trend left through a wild juggy roof that leads to a small ledge.
P4 90’ 5.8 Climb through some easy terrain to a second ledge then straight up the face. Belay at a small ledge.
P5 100’ 5.9 Start up the corner, then quickly step out right onto the face. A series of fun mantles bring you to a final boulder problem in a corner. Belay on a massive ledge.
P6 100’ 5.5 Head up easy terrain, avoid going too far left into the chossy gully. Belay at a good ledge. Don't try to link this onto the next ledge you will likely send rocks down.
P7 70’ 3rd Class Move the belay up and left across the large ledge to a bolted belay at the base of the next pitch.
P8 100’ 5.9 Climb the very fun face, at the 4th bolt stay right in the corner then mantle back left at the 5th bolt. Continue up more perfect gray limestone to the summit!
Descent: Walk Off
Location
Approach: Park on Kettle Ridge Drive. Pick up the Cleod 9 mt bike trail. Follow this to the junction with the Secret Menu Trail. Turn right on secret menu, follow this trail until you reach a feint cairned climbers path bellow the buttress. This takes you to the base of contagion. Turn right just before you reach the base of Contagion. Patient Zero starts on a massive, obvious, white slab.
