Ascents in North America as various tick types by topher

Has a few enjoyable pitches interspersed with a lot of pretty ordinary ones, making it seem like the aim is just to get to the top, not climb great rock. Guide book gives it 10b, but I'd say 10a considering the first and last pitches.

Not that great. Very nice setting, but the climbing isn't amazing considering the other quality routes that grade in the general area, and some sections of bolting are just plain weird.

Amazing, but also a bit scary! Ran out of gas about 1.5m from turning the lip on the overhang, took a good fall onto a tipped-out 6. Pulled up and got a bomber 4 big bro just a little lower, and made it through on the second go. Only had one 3 big bro and 2 4 big bros along with the 6 BD cam. A 0.4 BD off the belay and a medium nut at the top, otherwise 6 BD and larger for the main pitch. Next time will try to find 2 more 3 big bros, and will feel much safer!

Super slippery feet to begin with, and then a fun dilemma near the end of the traverse.

Lovely topout move, very insecure after the rest of the climb!

Second shot. Slipped off first time going past last bolt. Pretty intimidating bolt spacing!

Excellent climbing with good rests and gear. Would be best to do in a single pitch, but had already used most of my thin stuff down below. Upper corner didn't feel any harder than the crack below, just intimidating with the ledge below. Great wires in corner.

Super relaxing, climbed in approach shoes.

Good fun. Only seemed vaguely familiar until I looked down from the chains. Didn't bother with top pitch.

Linked p1 and p2, and then p3 and p4. nice climbing, but probably not worth it unless you don't have to wait around for it.

Great little line with plenty of bomber small wires when you leave the cams in the car...

So easy to forget that this is actually quite a nice little climb.

Pitches 1,2, and final pitch. Moved onto The Scenario in the middle.

Went the wrong way at the crux and fell. Solid moves, but keep left on the small holds instead of trying for the layaway flake up right too early.

Enjoyable, just a pity it's so short. Been so long since I climbed on limestone...

Not exactly sure why, but I didn't find this one all that much fun.

Thin moves at the top, and spent most of the time trying to find the holds. Just as well it isn't too steep!

Short, but fun and definitely a little less obvious than Mountain Aven

Good quality clombing mostly 5.9, with a couple of harder moves the the first 15m.

Awesome pitch. Might only get 10d on some other areas because of all the no-hamds rests, but still great. Easy gear, lots of wires and cams <0.5. Hard finish if you go the wrong way.

Ringlock upper section unless you have small hands. Save some 0.5-0.75 cams for the top. Careful lowering with a 60m rope- will need to downclimb last couple of metres.

Felt harder than Arrowroot, but still excellent climbing. Super well protected after the start.

Could be better than we thought, as 50% of the holds were wet. A lot or the rock is partially rotted. Quite a different start, followed by lots of pumpy sidepulls

A bit hard to stay off the arete until the point it actually crosses. The rock on the upper half is really cool.

Lap for extra warmup

Sweet! Second go. Screwed up the crux sequence and took a whipper at the top after I didn't find a helpful foot left of the crack at the top. Things went almost perfect second time around.

Super hard, and would be a super sketchy lead. Tough bottom, pretty sustained, with a crux finish. Just as well the top rail is positive!

Would rate a 'good' if it was 3x longer and not bolted.

Contrived and shitty, but the only other thing that was remotely dry.

Great and well protected early lead for aspiring slab climbers

A few broken crystals, minor slips, and completely trashed shoes, but managed to stay on somehow.

A bit wet and super cruxy.

Really nice, moderate slabbing.

Awesome little sections, would get 3* if it was more sustained.

Really fun, and relaxing slabbing. Belongs near the top of the Apron.

Beautiful rock, but crux was all wet, making it pretty tough.

Awesome moves on amazing rock. The only thing detracting from it is not very good bolting through the middle crux section - potential fall onto ledge. First half can take several small-moderate wires and cam to 0.5BD. Climbed second shot after mis-reading the crux first go.

Very fun climbing, but make sure you pull down, not out! Would not be a good lead climb with so much loose flake.

Was thinking of leading it, but the rope was already up, and I was a wee bit scared of the bit before the first bolt. Excellent larger nuts and 0.75-2BD in lower part, and possible 0.5-0.75 up left just before the last move.

Not that amazing, but still fun. Continued up to Tiny Testicles anchor to try to help with cleaning, but ended up cleaning the lower half off the Put Off By Lichen anchors. Get someone to second!

Really fun climbing. Fairly sustained lower half, but with a very obvious crux section. Upper part mostly 10a-ish, but super fun. Turkey vultures cruising around waiting for something to happen.

Screwed up feet just after the crux and popped off.
