Best climb at the crag by far

So amazing. Harder than Chinese water torture. Not 10d

Super fun climbing throughout

Linked with Ballista for a 17 pitch day. Swung leads with Brendan with me starting on the 10d pitch. Line was not as good as Ballista and the rock quality is sub-par to say the least. Still a great day out linking 2 multi's on Tunnel

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

4 star climbing through 1 star rock. If you can get over the holds through the roof being knuckle deep in mud and rat poop, the climb itself is amazing. 3 or 4 bolts of sustained steep climbing through jugs of mud with great movement. Chalk is probably useless on this route.

Pretty stoked to get this done. 7 hours to the top, we did the last 10 pitches in 2 hours Linked most pitches in groups of 2. Cruxes were a mix of slab and some vert. A great day out with Nolan.

Not sure why this is marked as a trad route. Great fun though

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.

The local Guide book stayes that it's either 10b with an A0 section OR 10d. Either way it's a super fun lower pitch, with great gear (small Nuts) into bolts, and a few supplemental cams. I never did find the 10d moves, but did climb through the slabby A0 section. The upper two pitches could use a scrub, but with a little digging I found good gear. Climbing through the crystal pockets was super fun! Definitely a must do in Vic!

Linked 1&2 5&6 7&8.

The crux section is really nice, and then you end up in one of the most beautiful crack of Val-David. Que demander de mieux!

A classic for sure.

cool mono

Small holds and technical footwork for the grade. A nice route.

Easy day - 2

Favourite climb at this crag so far. Had a tricky time finding where the holds were over the roof

Not sure I was in the correct crack, felt a bit easy for the supposed V2 grade, more like V0. Might have been the wet one a little to the right?

Nice techy crux

Sloppy, but onsight.

I did a sit start. Guide is ambiguous on whether that's required.

Fun. Easy moves to start, reachy middle, top out.

Stick clip the second clip.

#2

Somehow felt easier than 'Lake Warm-up SDS' (V0).

Probably helped that I'd inspected the holds.

Probably had 10d moves if you use the large ledges as a hand traverse with polished feet, however it is much easier to do a foot traverse on these ledges.

Very nice climb up to after the crux pitch. The Rock gets chossy and route finding is hard on the last 3 pitches (follow the flakes). There's a spooky runout on pitch 4. Exposure the whole way up!

Hard for grade

Fantastic for the grade!

A nice climb. 3 out of the 4 pitches would be considered high quality for the grade if they were located at the back of Lake Louise so to have these stacked on top of each other on a cool spire is pretty special. Steep and juggy with a short section of thin techy stuff to keep it interesting.

Part of 33 pitches for my 33rd birthday.

Thought the brown wall was a novelty until I realized it was mud stained... climbs nicely though!

Spicy start!

This is a good warm up!

Not great and a terrible warm up

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

Technical face climb

Soft.

Very fun climb, Would recommend.

Short but sweet. Fun roof pull!

Really nice climbing!

Had to fight the pump for this one!

An awkward crux through the roof

A really fun climb with tricky feat.
