Routes in Northwest Territories for selected grade

The thin finger crack and seam that goes straight up 2m left of IL.

Overhanging seam and arête to share anchors with intro.

Follow the crack feature the whole way up. Fun moves, crux at top.

Fun crimpy route working from around an arete like feature in the boulder from right to left. Requires some careful footwork, and good technique.

Sit start with two hands on angled rail. Move up and rightwards through a series of small side pull crimps. Top out using prominent vertical crack feature.

A fun traverse problem on a slightly overhung face, first identified as a project by Kevin Cull. Route begins on the far right of rock face, traversing left until you reach a birch tree adjacent to the rock face apex. Climb up the apex to top out.

Variety of good handhold options throughout, but smaller and fewer options for feet. A more detailed route description by Kevin can be found on Mountain Project.

Sit start to the right of the large spruce tree in between two thin vertical cracks. Hands on the big sharp jug sticking out of a large triangle crack/hole in the rock, about 1m off the ground. Move directly up to a crimpy side pull, then bump to the jug above. Climb straight up topping out where there is a small Juniper(?) bush. Until it gets trimmed, you'll be pushing your way through the Spruce branches to top out.

Likely the best vertical crack in the Yellowknife area. Flaring and ever so slightly overhanging angle makes this a challenging climb. Top rope anchor bolts are available, but the route can be climbed on trad gear.

Start sitting on rock below the fist width crack. start with both hands on chock stone and get your feet up. Fist and foot jam your way up the crack till you can reach the big ledgy jug to the left and top out.

Great route with a long solid crack on the right and an arete on the left. The structure of the cliff line here gives you an exhilarating, exposed feel. Route has been bolted for lead with mid-point anchor bolts for a 2 pitch decent to the bottom. The lower section is fairly chossy though and not recommended for ascending.
