Ascents in Nunavut

Unique holds and steep overhang that are hard to come by in Iqaluit (so far). Might be difficult not to dab for taller climbers. Good fun for a short route.

Crux start. Satisfying to get over the shelf and onto the dihedral.

I think the start is in the V4 range and the first three moves are quite fun. The top out is much easier.

Probably closer to V3.

Fun combination of moves for a low ball.

Top out needs a good brushing.

The top out needs lots of cleaning. This variant top out doesn't add much to the problem aside from height and a little more difficulty pulling over the lip of the boulder.

Maybe V4, definitely more difficult than any of the other V3s on the wall. Can make the climb easier by bumping up before the crimp near the lip. Good movement throughout the climb.

The rock is a bit sharp in the right section of this route.

This climb is much harder when there is no snow drift at the base of the boulder. A snow drift and crash pad can bring you up to the juggy side pulls in the crack but when there is no snow drift you have to climb tricky slab with minimal options for feet. Recommend upgrading this to V2.

The start is quite difficult without the added height of the snow bank. After a few more ascents and feedback, I think V3 is a fair grade. Minimal options for feet and slopers for the first handholds make this more than a beginner climb.

Determined that this problem should be downgraded after a four more ascents. Recommend V2/V3.

After four more ascents, I think this climb is more in the V2/V3 range.

For those that don't want the climbing season to end or are eager for it to start. Crux and compact start.

Solid climb. V2 might be a bit sandbagged.

A fun traverse with a cool combination of movements.

Maybe V2 due to the crux just before the top out.

Classic Iqaluit boulder. Juggy, endurance climb.

Crux is the start where you have to transfer your weight to get out of the overhang.

The crux is getting out of the lip and becomes very easy after this first move.

I think this might be more of a V1, maybe V2 due to the technical toe and heel hooks at the start.

Tried without using the right arete on the start and recommend that starting position for a slightly more challenging beginning.

Might be difficult for beginners to get their first feet on the wall but is smooth sailing from there.
