Awesome jamming on P1. P2 is the money pitch with a great layback but the gear is quite marginal in the top half, and it eventually becomes run out slab climbing where the seam ends. P3 was good but starting to be a bit polished with traffic.

Extenuating and breathtaking in all senses. Unfortunately I took a fall on the laybacking at the top so I can't claim the onsight or red point (I did not split it in two pitches on purpose...) . The second go on the laybacking went well and "easy". Probably better not to bring backpack next time although the bladder with water helped.

Insanely good slabbing! Well protected, just make sure your second is anchored so they don’t slam into the wall when you fall (sorry Harrie Van de Linde) Crux is definitely the first 3 bolts, but it doesn’t ease up all that much.
Got all the moves, but it’ll take a couple toprope laps to dial in the beta. |

Fell once at the top of the flake, and got scared clipping the 4th bolt. Continued straight up from the anchors (no pro) and wandered our way for a swim. Classic route, worthy of many more ascents, especially now that we’ve cleaned off a bunch of the moss and loose rock.
Sincere thanks to Michael Law for retrobolting this route. It’s now safe and sane (but still has that friction slab quality without being over bolted). |

The fist and hand sections felt great (even if my backpack kept me out of the chimney). However, the layback moves at the crux felt nails.
Is this just more evidence that I can’t layback anymore? Fortunately my ego can be saved: seconding this route is much harder than leading since I had all the cams on my harness by the time I got to the crux. After I dogged it I took my backpack off and hung it on one of the spare #4s from my harness, and the layback went okay! Tip 1: lead it, hog all onsight opportunities for the day. Tip 2: don’t take your pack down the crevasse. If you do, make your second go down to fetch it after the climb is over. Tip 3: save a #4 for the roof since no other gear will protect the traverse. |

Lost the onsight just a few meter from the top, when my foot slipped after the roof at the beginning of the layback. Slightly disappointed but still happy to have done this mega climb! Nothing too hard, just good climbing and a lot of gear management and bumping up cams if you don’t have at least 3 or 4 cams #3
Did it with a set of wires, only a double rack of cams up to #4 and a set of hexes, which I thought would make up for the lack of medium cams. Ended up trying to place a big hex which got awkwardly stucked, let go all my french canadian swearing vocabulary trying to take it out, and finally just bumped up a BD #3 for at least 10-15 meters. |

Despite the writeup in the guide, the only thing going for this route is the position (great views of the North Wall classics). Shit rock, mossy, dirty, sharp. Lots of deathy things moving as you pull on them. Tried hard, got scared, took some exciting falls, complained a bunch... Pretty much standard fare for any but the 20-odd routes at Buffalo that actually get traffic.
