5.8/9 | ★ Right-hand Finishes | 55m | ★ Good | ||||
Celebrating our first wedding anniversary with Bec's first climb on Yam. Took the 5.8 'hands' finish from BBQ ledge which was good steep fun. However I think Andy has bear mitts for hands as I didn't made a single hand jam, fists the whole time haha.

Celebrating our first wedding anniversary with Bec's first climb on Yamnuska. Our initial plan of climbing Easy Street was aborted due to multiple parties so jumped on this thing. Unfortunately it was pretty trash however the finish off BBQ ledge was nice. Still a great day out with my beautiful and amazing wife

Don't think I hit a single belay ledge in the right spot. Pretty sure I was off route for some of it, but who knows. Good climb none the less

5.12a 5.11c | ★★★ Rejection of the Faith | 240m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
A more intense day than expected! I have the 2006 version of the Yam book which cites this little bit of Yam history (it was the first mixed climb bolted & cleaned on rappel) as having a short distinct crux of 11c. It turns out that several key holds have broken off this climb and the 2nd crux pitch (fully bolted) is now likely sustained 11+ with a 12a slab crux. The rock is fairly crumbly there and I broke off 2 more 'ok' holds attempted to free it. I suspect it will continue to get harder for a while yet. Even 'French Freeing' this there are mandatory 5.11+ moves required. The second crux pitch (45m, 11b mixed) is more sustained than expected and just when you get tired, it gets steep climbing this overhanging pillar of yellow rock. I was stoked to climb the 11a trad sections clean but simply didn't have the endurance to hang on through the steep upper part of the pitch. The rest of the pitches are solid, protect well, are significantly easier and thoroughly enjoyable. All in all it was a great day out on this little piece of Yam history before the mountain closes down for the season for track maintenance. We also found several loose nuts on the climb (which we tightened by hand) and the crux bolt you aid on has no nut at all. I would recommend bringing a spare nut, hanger and spanner if you intend to climb this route incase it is still in that condition.

Used first two pitches of Broken Wing as a direct start ("Broken Pony"). Good climbing on mostly clean, compact rock. Found the 10b exit pitch a little contrived - it did offer a few tricky moves at the grade, though, that were well-protected.
