Wed 11th Jul 2007 - Banff | ||||||
Mount Bourgeau | ||||||
5.10b | ★★ Walk of Ages | ★★ Very Good | ||||
this whole cliff, all the holds, everything slopes off down to the left. Makes for very absorbing climbing. good fun route, pitches 2,3 & 4 are sustained 10b - I kept expecting it to get easier higher up (as per the topo) but its sustained all the way to the top.

||||||
Mon 2nd Jul 2007 - Goat Mountain | ||||||
Nanny Goat Coire Dubh | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Beautiful Century | 230m | ★★ Very Good | |||
very fun climb. hardly any loose rock, well bolted, a great day out. the crux felt like a bit of a sandbag, but its very well protected (you could pull on the silver jugs to get past if you wanted). highly recommended!

19 19 R | ★★ Wall of the Afternoon Sun | 140m | ★ Good | |||
the 1st pitch is awesome, but the remainder gets progressively worse. Good slabby route for a rest day after cranking the steeps. I'd still recommend doing it just for p1.
