Ascents in Calabogie by Johnathan Suderman

So height dependent, shorter people are definitely going to have a much harder time on this one.

First try of the day.

I fell once at the second bolt, then got through the rest pretty easily.

My first trad lead. Sewed it up.

Almost lost it at the top

Great moves on great slopers and pinches. Got it on my second try.

First V5

On the first attempt of the day.

This was actually pretty enjoyable, although I think a grade of V0- might even be a bit generous.

Fixed ropes are aid.

Don't bother with anything in the middle. Just dyno to the lip and try to keep your feet on.

Just can't get the very first move. The rest is fine.

Fun dihedral.

First try this season. Felt quite a bit easier than last year.

The crimp rail in the middle was too wet to use so I was working on just dead pointing to the jug. Just a couple inches short though. I've got the topout worked out. Fun so far.

I'm coming for you Alex.

Trying to work out a TR solo method. Not very happy with how I'm doing it so far. The name really suits the first few moves of this route. I found myself incredibly scrunched up. Ocne you reach the over hang it gets much more comfortable though.

Hanger on the slab section is missing and makes the route really run out.
