★★ The Groove
First 2 pitches can be easily linked together with minimal rope drag. Pitch 5 is long, a 70m rope rappel with stretching may get you to the P4 anchors with no rope to spare depending on the stretch of the rope and climber weight, tie knots! There is a set of intermediate rappel rings near the beginning of pitch 5 if you don't quite reach the P4 anchors. Rappel from the intermediate rings and also P4 anchors, as the intermediate anchors wont reach P3 anchors. |

Little Russia
A newest sport climbing area developed in the summer of 2018 by group of Edmonton climbers. Steep, burly routes on solid limestone ranging from 5.9 to 5.13. Located in the Peskett canyon with only 15 min approach this area is perfect for someone who looks to work on a hard climb in a beautiful canyon setting. Climbs have been developed on both sides with the left (North) side been steeper, harder and mainly in the shade and right (South) side, easier, less steep and sunnier. Beginning of the canyon (before the first waterfall) harbours single pitch sport climbs. Deeper in the canyon (~100m) after the first waterfall a couple dozens of drytool climbs had been established. A multi pitch climb and a highline are in the works and coming soon as of March 2019. If you see a bolted line that is not in the topo it is probably a project that has not been cleaned/climbed yet. More and more climbs will be coming up. Dont hesitate to bring your brush and help the developers to clean the holds. Since this area is new, some loose rock still may exist, wear your helmet. Due to a short approach and rain protected area under "Start of the line"overhang area is very family friendly. Most of the sport climbs in this area are named after people who helped with the project. May their names live forever! 60m rope is enough for all the routes except "Start of the Line" extension that needs 70m. Come and check it out! |

5.12a
French Roast
On the North face of Little Russia proper, look for the line of 3 tightly spaced bolts that intersect the left leaning corner/arete of "Janus". Named after French Dan Urbain and Sabrina Poplawski. Bolted, cleaned and wire brushed by K. Stoletov. Depending on the height of the creek, either start by passing a bolt and pulling up onto a pseudo-ledge, or set up a semi-hanging belay at the first bolt. The next bolt marks the start of the climb- it looks high from the ground, but trust it's placement! Climb 3 bolts of brilliant, technical resistance styled climbing, then head up and cross (right) the left-slanting arete of "Janus", clipping the perma-draw before gaining a rest. Unobvious but easy climbing for a few bolts leads to a final, powerful boulder problem. Finish out on the non-trivial slab. |
5.12b
★★★ Janus
Start on two log bolted station and do a traverse left. Get onto overhanging arete and pump up your way up. Clip the station from victory slopers if you still have anything left in you! Stick clip first or second bolt to avoid unnecessary dipping in the creek. Named after Jan Niedersberg |
5.11c
★★ Merricka
Sustained route on good crimps. A must-do. If you are not comfortable in that grade you might want to stick clip the first bolt. Named after Merrick Montemurro. |
5.12b
Ding Ding Dong
On the North face of Little Russia (where the creek runs right next to the wall), look for the bolted belay station/belay platform. Identify DDD by its tightly spaced bolts on the smooth, grey, vertical limestone down low, leading to a ledge with black and yellow streaked rock above. |
5.11b
★★ Sketchy Foks
Non-stop, technical sequence of crimps, heelhooks and two finger pockets. Crux are pulling onto the crux bulge mid way with finish on easy holds to the top. Named after Nathan Fok. |
