Doctors Wall
	5.12a	★★★ Doctor Megatrip	Sport 30m	★ Good	Crazy_Pete
Fantastic route in perfect Skaha style. Seems there is 2 ways to do the crux, a dyno from the left, or thin technical climbing from the right.

Engaging climbing over some decent exposure!

Spectacular, sustained crimps. The middle finger knuckle lock to deep pocket to crimp was a blast!

Very cool. Good moves, and I think I know why it's called 'the odyssey' - it just keeps on going! Loads of fun!

5.10c in Marc Bourdons 2018 Skaha climbing guidebook
	5.10a	★★ Plum Line	Sport 34m, 10	★★★ Classic	Daniel Gunn
BD 0.75 to tame the runout. The runout is bigger then the guide book makes it out to be in my opinion.

Raspberry Mourning Wall
	5.10d	★★ Bolt Warts - with Victoria Guba	Sport 12m, 3	★★ Very Good	Ryan Parker
It’s a long run between the final bolt and the anchor. Easy climbing but you need to keep your head.

	5.11a	★★★ The Real Special Forces - with Meredith Apple	Sport 25m, 10	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
One last classic 5.11 to wrap up our time in Skaha. Superb and memorable dancing up tiny edges.
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Skaha
Blipvert Tower
	5.12b	★★★ Apricot jam — 2 attempts - with Meredith Apple	Sport 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
One of the most fun routes ever. Dropped it at the last hold trying to reel it in and clip the anchor but couldn't quite manage it. As of the time of writing this, I still feel like the pump hasn't quite receded. If you're ever in Skaha, get on this climb.
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Skaha
Doctors Wall
	5.10d	★★ Falling into Blackness - with Meredith Apple	Sport 30m	★★★ Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Calling this 5.10 is offensive.
	5.11c	★★ Grin and Bear It - with Meredith Apple	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Dropped the first try lost and confused. Ultra techy.
	5.11a	★★★ Naturopath - with Meredith Apple	Sport 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
It hard to describe how good this pitch is, so I won't.
Wed 3rd Apr 2024 - Skaha
The Belfry
	5.12a	★★ Womb with a View - with Meredith Apple	Sport 10	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
What a classic! The move into the "womb" is crazy. Couldn't work it out on the fly, got it in a one-sit.
	5.12a	★★★ Blade Runner — 3 attempts - with Meredith Apple	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Third shot! What a classic. Steep juggy corner climbing to a traddy finger-lock stemming corner at the top before a mantle out to the anchor? Glorious. Mantle out = 5 stars.

The Terraces
	5.11a	★★★ Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - with Meredith Apple	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
This wall is awesome. Some of the best moderates I've ever been on.

Diamondback
	5.11a ~5.11b	★★ Cytotoxic - with Meredith Apple	Sport 26m, 11	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Absolutely desperate. Some of the most garbage holds in the world I'm pretty sure. Ultra technical and weirdly spooky.

Great White Wall
	5.11a	★ Bake - with Meredith Apple	Sport 8m, 4	★ Good	Maxwell Cullen
Pretty average but we climbed it in heavy fog and shite conditions so maybe the holds feel better sometimes.
	5.12d	★★★ In the Skin of a Lion - with Meredith Apple	Sport 22m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
3 days and a bunch of tries but came together pretty fast! Stoked. Great power endurance cranking on small but positive edges. Stoked as hell.
	5.11b	★★★ Test of The Ironman	Sport 35m, 11	★★★ Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Not quite as classics as Wings of Desire but probably a better warmup route. Fun corner climbing with a sweet gaston/palm press move at the top.

Pretty good! Easy but pumpy up to a hard boulder guarding the chains. Dropped it there 3 times before moving on.
	5.11c	★★★ Rock Soft	Sport 23m, 12	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Mega classic! Easy corner jugging before blasting out a steep and exposed roof at the top. Wiiiiicked.

Great White Wall
	5.11a	★★★ Vigorous	Sport 10m, 4	★★★ Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Fun and hard! Dropped the first try cause it was less warm-uppy than expected.

Fun traddy corner! Good warmup.
	5.11c	★★★ Wings of Desire	Sport 34m, 12	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
One of the best routes at the grade anywhere. Unreal.

Doctors Wall
	5.10b	★★★ Brown Stuff In my Knickers — 2 attempts	Sport 4	★★★ Classic	Tonsai! Tonsai!
A thriller worthy of its name. If you want a bit of zing in your day, try this out. I’m lichen it! 20m from base to rappel chains, 5 bolts, well protected crux. FA: Robin Barley, Kwon Neng Foo.

The Terraces
	5.11d	★★★ Lost Highway — 2 attempts - with David Pham	Sport 17m, 8		Jack Burnett
Fricken hard! Couldn't move past the lip on the onsight. Second go tried David's heel hook beta which was scary but worked then was undone big time the hard traverse sequence. Lots of fun
	5.11a	★★★ Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - with David Pham	Sport 20m, 9		Jack Burnett
Sick climb! Pretty tough top section
	5.10a	★ Black Bee - with David Pham	Sport 28m, 13		Jack Burnett

Tsunami Wall
	5.13a	★★ In the Nicks of Time - with Carleigh Burns	Sport 10m, 5	★★ Very Good	Harley Mills
Oh man the frustration was real with this one. Got all the moves figured out, went for the send, botched the start, started again, dropped the second crux. And so was the theme for the day. No send haha. A lot of punch and varied climbing in such a small climb. Would love to see some beta, as the tiny side-pull undercling thing I used was exhausting! Get on it ha

	5.13a	★★★ Dr seuss's wild ride - with Carleigh Burns	Sport 13	★★★ Classic	Harley Mills
A wild ride indeed. Got all the moves pretty quick up until the final crux. Faffed around trying to find a way to do the top crux efficiently. Found one super hard beta sequence. On the send it became quickly apparent that wasn't going to work hahaha. So back to figuring out the beta. Might use the double crinpy underclings! Heaps of fun

Definitely doable. Two bolts through the roof section is the crux.
	5.10b	★★ Minor Skirmish - with Steph Coulter	Sport 25m	★★ Very Good	Scott Holmes
Doable forsure. Need to get through the start and have enough gas to finish the rest of the climb.

	5.12a ~5.12a	★ Rapunzel	Sport 18m, 8	Average	Josh Worley
Wanted to jump on to see how it felt. Definitely a sandbag at the original grade of 11c. 12a in the new guidebook seems more appropriate. Super thin crux.

Although the crux is getting to the first bolt, the rest of the route doesn't let up much and stays engaging to the anchors.
