About me
I live and climb in the Ottawa, Ontario area -- though I like to travel for climbing purposes. If you're in, or visiting, the area and looking for someone to climb with, drop me a line.
I also own too many guide books. They're addictive.

Areted Development Climbed again to clean the anchors. |

True Drew Climbed again to clean the anchors. |

Piton-be-gone Climbed again to clean the anchors. |

Queen of Hearts Would have been a lot less stressful on lead if it wasn't soaking wet. |
||
| 5.8
Areted Development Nice movement. |
||
| 5.6
Fire Starter The slab at the start was very slippery when wet -- almost like wet slime on the rock. Rope was on wrong anchor -- so finished up and left to the anchor for Areted Development, rather than following the corner up and right. Probably a harder finish -- but fun. |
||
| 5.7
True Drew Nice climb, would be nicer -- and easier -- dry. |
||
| 5.5
Piton-be-gone Soaking wet, making it a bit more exciting. Clipped bolts from "unknown" as well as placing gear. |

| 5.7
Scylla and Charybdis When I haven't climbed this in a while, I forget what a good route it is. Still, could use a bit more digging out of dirt at the start. |
||

Ovipositor Finally got a chance to try leading it. With the 2 bolts, might not even be PG. Route is mostly pretty easy going, except for the hard pull over the roof. |
||
| 5.7
Camalot Decided to try lie-backing through up and through the roof, rather than stepping right onto the arete to (mostly) avoid the roof. It went quite smoothly. Not sure, though, how well it would work for placing gear. |

Right Climb |
||
| 5.7
Gneiss and Grandy Really dry, so climbed quite easily. Might be able to extend the top a couple more meters, though. Will have to think on this. |
||
|
36-24-36 Failed to pull the roof. Again. Cleared the loose cinder-block-sized loose block, though. So, this could now be bolted. |
||
| 5.9
Little Deuce Coupe Went far more smoothly than previous leads. |
