Ascents in North America by Andy Gnarr

Good climbing overall, the layback on pitch 4 was the standout pitch

Great climb, but pitch 4 is a weird one.

Linked pitch one and half of pitch two, Ryan Parker linked the second half of pitch two with pitch three.

Crazy busy day, planned to do 'Long Time No See' but ended up on Calculus Direct to avoid a large crowd but still hit traffic at the top belay of the second pitch of calculus. Then headed up 'South Arete' (again to avoid the crowds). Then made our way up the last 2 pitches of 'Long Time No See' before heading back down.

Dave's first multi-pitch, alternated leads. Second pitch felt more like 5.7. All in all, quality climbing all the way up.

Started up at around 6:30 pm for a sunset climb, finished up at the top in the dark. This is definitely going to be a classic! Linked pitches 2,3, and 4 with an 80 m rope, then also linked pitches 7 and 8. The slab traverse of pitch 6 was a personal favorite.

This really is a one move wonder.

Good hard climbing, but felt more like 5.11a.

Thin moves but a good climb.

While this looks like it's covered in moss, surprisingly all the holds seem to be clean.

Finally tried this one after having an obsession with 'Res-Erection', solid climbing all day way up, there is a somewhat critical hold just below the second bolt that feels like it's about to peel off, so make sure your belayer is paying attention through this low section.

Cool bouldery moves down low, followed by good slab above.

Fun route, mellow at the bottom, straight into a hard crux, then continues with sustained climbing on small holds to the top. The route felt like about 5.11a to me, although others seem to have listed it as easier, the FA listed it as 5.11b.

Would be a great route if it wasn't wet at the time, but most of the critical hold were dry.

Tricky slabby crux.

Really fun, well protected at the top even though it doesn't look like it from the ground.

Knocked off a foot hold just past the roof. Shouldn't affect the route too much.

Great climb! Lots of fun little pockets and pull hard for the top.

As must as I would love to say I onsighted 5.11a, I feel like this is closer to 5.10c. Still a great climb though.

There is a loose feeling block about half way up, my partner gave it a few kicks while rappelling and it held but one or two more winters and it might come loose.

Managed to get it done in 6 parsecs.

awesome moves including a pocket in the old drill holes.

Very cool moves through the roof. Went left though the roof instead of what seems to be the more travelled right side, probably about the same difficulty. Thoughtful moves at the top.

This could be one of the best routes in Eastern Ontario! Lots of variety, long, and the option of a jam or a layback at the top!

Try to avoid afternoon sun. Goes right in your eyes.

Fun little boulder problem at the start, but mellow climbing above to the anchor.

Did both variations of this climb, really liked the moves through the roof section.

Fun new climb, great addition to the area.

If you like stemmy corners, this is a must do!

Fun climb, with some good lay-backs.

Still a little dirty around the bottom, but this could clean off nicely with a bit of time. The moves through the roof were awesome! Felt the grade was about 5.10c.

A little dirty and mossy towards the top, but still worth doing. Could be better with more traffic and cleaning.

Great feet, terrible hands, so a pretty ideal slab climb, but felt harder than 5.10b.

A bit of a one move wonder. We did a slight variation of the start (because there was a boat in the way of the start) by starting at 'Jouer avec le Feu', clipping the first bolt, then traversing left and clipping the second bolt of 'Marco Polo' with an extended draw to reduce rope drag and continuing up the rest of the route.

Slightly overhanging with big holds.

Used a pink tri-cam in the Crack instead of a cam.

Super fun pockets!

Almost lost it due to a mix up down low, but was able to pull it together to make it up clean.
