Ascents in Montréal & surrounding areas

Not a lot of good gear placements.

Still no interest in leading this.

Fell. On top rope. On a 5.5. Oh the shame

A beautiful dihedral climb - interesting balance between big moves and technical ones.

Made it half way up, to where the vertical and horizontal cracks meet in a +. Would have been my hardest limb to date

I want to come back with gear and lead it: scoped out placements on the way and it looked good. Lots of medium-sized nuts and tri-cams.

Bolt placement is pretty awkward for a 5.5. If I'm climbing a 5.5 I don't expect some of the sketchy stances and odd reaches that you run into on this route. Climbs like it was bolted by a much stronger climber who possibly didn't put his- or herself into a 5.5 climber's shoes.

This route now has three bolts on it. I took a more chanllanging route along the arête.

sketchy pro

Takes a lot of nuts, including some smallish ones. Gear is generally good, though. Climbing is harder at the start than the end.

not so bad nice to solo

high and easy

Fun little climb, but could use some sort of anchor solution. I used a tree up the gully, but it isn't a good end for the climb, which would be better straight up and over. Maybe add bolts? (And clean a bit of the loose stuff out.)

Amazed I have not lead, or climbed, this before. Climbed it to set a TR anchor on Dolny Zeb to its left.

I don't have a previous ascent of this recorded, so guess this was my first time up it.

Single bolt near top, so used that plus some gear for the anchor.

Climbs more like a crack then the climb to the left, actually got some good jams in on this, only lay-backing a bit going over the bulge at the top.

a masterclass in laybacking the way I toproped it. power power power!!!

Tri-cams only lead. Cause tri-cams are what I had with me.

Pretty easy going up the corner.

Hard moves 5.10 ?

FFA.

Fun little trad climb. Shouldn't need anything bigger than #3 BD

1 fall away from redpoint.

Ok gear, but often placed from poor stance.
