Ascents in Montréal & surrounding areas by Su A. Alteen having sport-cpr or ascent-date

NOTE:

While the site says sport, 3 bolts... If you plan on linking to the end of the face finishing on either the left or right to the fixed gear you'll need 4 quickdraws (plus an anchor if you plan on lowering repeatedly, or toproping).

Okay, so first off, I went 'right,' after the second bolts and used the left edge and a left jug to clip bolt 3, and then finished the same as per "Impatience" . On toprope, I later tried the eliminated direct sequence only going right after bolt 2 and couldn't pull the moves quite yet, going from the right small crimp pinch to a left crimpy undercling to eventually (probably?) going to a left undercling with high feet, and twisting to a crimpy vaguely juggy thing.

That'll be a project for another time. Taking it down in a day as I did leads me to suggest 5.11a using that hold set which is less than 2 feet away from the bolts. Lots of 'bang for your buck,' on this climb possible, as it could probably go harder up top with more staying in the 'middle,' and avoiding any jugs...

Projected this a bunch to get the part from bolt 2 to bolt 3.

The undercling hold was cool.

Narrowly flashed this on lead to set up a toprope.

Narrow flash as I was sorta pumped still from working "Actual Porn Star" cool features and moves on an overhang.

Very lovely route that somehow I found pretty easy for the grade (how? no idea). I compressed and de-compressed rather than a deadpoint for the crux. I was very grateful to have the second bolt stick clipped to start because of the low first bolt and unstable moves and clipping position for 2. One of my favs from today.

Definitely one of my favs from today. Consistent with a crux in the middle. Great beautiful jug holds overhanging and fun flowy climbing.

A sweet and fun route. Cool moves, fascinating crux. Nice features. Good to do.

Flashed this by going 'direct,' through the crimps rather than going rather right of the bolt line. It might have made it harder but made it less nerve-wracking for me on lead. Fun little line, worth having for sure.

Oof, somehow I found the move to clip 2 very awkward and challenging for a first climb of the area. The rest of it was cool.

Worth doing and worth having because it's around other easy sport climbs. Closely bolted for what it is. Has some tricky parts if you climb the 'hard,' parts instead of holds from the route on the right.

Sorta like a 2 bolt span wonder with easy climbing (still cool) as bookends.

Worked it ground up on lead bolt to bolt. Finally figured out a viable sequence but I didn't want to project it too much in a row due to using a 2 finger pocket as a key hold on slopey feet.

Fun cool down climb... (And then we did two more lol). A bit thinky at times.

Lovely ramble up good holds with good feet throughout. Last move to the anchor might be the crux... but you can otherwise tether into the anchor. Clipping holds are super solid right by the bolt. When I realized this I started clipping with the draw at my waist not over my head on a less good (good for a 5.11 climber) hold. Great new climber lead.

Also decent to get pictures for the climbs to the left of it... Especially at sunset!

no one expected me to want to lead this
