★★ Redrum (Redrum P1)

| 34m | Adirondacks | ★★ Very Good | Sat 22nd Jul 2017 | |||
Lead as approach to "Sword". A fun pitch in it own right.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ The Head Mucky Mucky | 17m | Halton Region | Average | Sat 31st Aug 2013 | |||
Short, but nice enough climbing.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★★★ Front of the Pinnacle | 100m | Bon Echo | ★★★ Classic | Sat 25th Jul 2015 | |||
The nominal third pitch -- step-across and up to the anchor -- is very short, and could easily be linked with pitch 2. Except then you'd miss the chance to hang out on the top of a lovely pinnacle. Protecting the step across would be tricky if short.

5.4 | ★★ One Pine | 45m | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Mon 24th May 2010 | |||
5.4 | fille du roi | 15m | Montagne d'Argent | Average | Sat 21st May 2011 | |||
Hardest part is the opening moves. Guide shows a pair of bolts for an anchor -- but I couldn't find them, so slung a big tree.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★★ Encore! mon lapin | 20m | Montagne d'Argent | ★ Good | Fri 22nd Apr 2011 | |||
Went easily, even when wet. The guide pictures bolts for the low traverse which don't appear to exist.

5.4 | ★ Still Another Climb | 20m | Eardley Escarpment | Average | Sat 11th May 2013 | |||
Did the initial part of the traverse a bit high, since the lower bit was covered in wet moss. Fun to do, but not a great climb.

5.4 | ★ Walt's Wall Route | 76m, 2 | Laramie | ★★ Very Good | Mon 6th Aug 2018 | |||

5.4 | ★ Abbey Road | 28m | Red Rock | ★ Good | Sun 9th Dec 2012 | |||
First Red Rocks climb, just getting a feel for the rock.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ Pine tree Crack | 60m | Rumney | Sat 6th Oct 2012 | ||||
Easy fun climb. Good practice for multi-pitch trad, one non-intimidating terrain.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ Knapsack Crack | 91m | Lake Tahoe, California Side | ★ Good | Wed 2nd Oct 2013 | |||
We did this in two long pitches, I took the second one and ran out of rope almost at the top... so had to belay just short, though really close enough that I just walked the finish.
Supertopo guide has this as 5.5, but I think the 5.4 rating on here is pretty reasonable. |

5.4 | The Goblet, Left | Yosemite National Park | Average | Tue 27th Sep 2016 | ||||
Pro is a bit thin, especially the 2nd half.

5.4 | ★ Nameless | 18m | Calabogie | Average | Tue 27th Apr 2021 | |||
This was a fun trad adventure, even anchored on a tree at the end!
Hard to judge quality... if cleaned up, would like rate good->very good, but currently really dirty, mossy, and with some loose blocks. |

5.4 | ★★ Sans Nom | 23m | Val-David | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Aug 2010 | |||
5.4 | La Motte | 15m | Montagne d'Argent | Average | Sun 22nd Jun 2014 | |||
Was a bit dirty.
|
||||||||
5.4 5.4 PG | ★ Kenneth le Grand Inquisiteur | 12m, 1 | Montagne d'Argent | Average | Sun 22nd Jun 2014 | |||
A bit dirty -- doesn't seem to be climbed a lot.
The gear is not... great. Then again, the guide does list it as a top-rope. |
||||||||
5.4 | ★★ Cool Corner | 65m | Bon Echo | ★ Good | Sun 26th Jul 2015 | |||
Lead some amalgam of this and Birthday Ridge. Did most of the first pitch, but near end went left to BR belay, then had to step down and around roof to get to the corner with much gear finagling to avoid evil rope drag. After corner, tried to stay right of BR in upper section -- not sure how well I succeeded. Was also damp, making the climbing more exciting.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ Yellow Groove | 45m | Bon Echo | ★ Good | Sat 19th Sep 2009 | |||
Swung pitches, I led the 2nd pitch. The "groove" is a bit of a squeeze if carrying a pack.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ The Nose | 25m | Eardley Escarpment | ★ Good | Wed 27th Jul 2011 | |||
The first pitch is fun with good climbing and decent protection -- though sometimes interesting to place. (I placed, I think, 4 tri-cams.)
As for relative difficulty...it is about right for a 5.4 in the Gatineau area -- but most such ratings are generally hard to sandag compared to other areas I have climbed. |
||||||||
5.4 | Qawwli | Eardley Escarpment | Average | Sun 12th Jul 2009 | ||||
Not sure exact date -- but sometime summer 2009.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★ The Wedge | 25m, 1 | Kingston Mills | Average | Sun 31st May 2009 | |||
My first trad lead. It seemed very run-out and hard to protect. (I might do better, now, or I might know better now. )
|
||||||||
5.4 5.4 PG | ★ (another trad route) | 25m | Eardley Escarpment | ★ Good | Sat 17th Nov 2012 | |||
Required the occasional creative gear placement, and some gardening to place the gear, but generally a fun cimb with some good moves, that stays mostly clear of the adjacent sport lines.
|
||||||||
5.4 | Mountaineer's Crack | Rumney | Average | Sat 18th May 2013 | ||||
I brought my rack, so wanted to use it for at least one climb. This, clearly, isn't climbed often -- the crack was full of leaves. It can take some surprisingly big pieces, too.
|
||||||||
5.4 | That's My Blood | Beaver Valley | Average | Sat 8th Jun 2013 | ||||
Decent climbing, crack is broken enough that pro is not confidence inspiring. Lots of placements, just never quite sure they would hold. Also, a bunch of loose, mostly small, rock.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★★ Double Lead | 25m | Halton Region | ★★★ Classic | Sat 31st Aug 2013 | |||
Surprisingly good climbing given the blocky-looking start. The exit left from under the roof is a wonderfully exposed, comitting move for a 5.4 (or 5.4+) climb.
I chose to finish right (apparently harder) to use the anchor's for Reg's route. The step across at the top is a bit tricky. |
||||||||
5.4 | ★ Flore | 25m | Val-David | Sat 26th Aug 2017 | ||||
5.4 | ★★ Exfoliation | 25m | West Kootenays | ★★ Very Good | Thu 3rd Sep 2020 | |||
Nice climbing up exfoliating flakes and slabs above the ledge.

5.4 | ★ Gourgandine | 20m | Lone star | ★ Good | Sat 27th May 2023 | |||
Nice warm-up.
|
||||||||
5.4 5.3 | ★ B-1 | 12m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Mon 17th Dec 2012 | |||
Most recent guide lists this as 5.4, which feels far more reasonable than 5.1. A good climb with decent gear.
|
||||||||
5.4 | Poussinet au Tambour | 38m, 1 | Montagne d'Argent | Average | Sat 18th Jun 2011 | |||
A bit dirty, but otherwise nice climbing.

5.4 | ★ Rocketman | 96m | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Apr 2011 | |||
Start of the first pitch feels quite committing for a 5.4 climb, above gear. Rest of climb is fine.
|
||||||||
5.4 | ★★ Cinch Crack | 15m | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Sun 20th Oct 2013 | |||
Lead it at the end of the day. The over-hanging lay-back crack section is really intimidating on a 5.4. It does protect well.
At end of crack, step right to small triangular ledge -- there are two pitons at the back, to rappel off. |

It was an after-dinner delight for us. Sunset from the top was quite pretty.

5.4 5.5 PG | ★★ Regular Route | 240m | Adirondacks | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Oct 2012 | |||
After doing about the first 1.5 pitches (in a single push), we looked at the time and decided to back off. Other two rappelled from the anchor. I moved the rope to be slung over a horn, cleaned the anchor and rapped from the horn. One of my more nervous rappels.

5.4 5.5 R | ★ Boston | 15m | Shawangunks | Sun 31st Mar 2013 | ||||
Leading on Trevor's rack, and he didn't have the gear I wanted for this climb. Oh well.
