Thin moves off the deck get you to excellent holds on steep terrain. Clip a high bolt at the roof and tip toe left on small feet to find a weakness to the top.

Low cryptic crux unlocks sustained climbing to the chains, be prepared to fight the pump!

FFA: KieranNorth, 22 May 2023

Sport 8 Norcan Lake
5.10b 40 Thieves

Easiest long length sport climb at cliff. Lots of holds but be sure to look around before committing to crux as it might not be obvious.

FFA: Alexander

Sport 22m, 12 Norcan Lake
5.10d Damned if ya DEET. Damned if you don't

Step - or hop - off the boulder to begin. A techy start shifts to steep juggy climbing before a committing roof move. Be patient and find the best path, but don't linger too long!

Sport 12m, 6 Norcan Lake
5.10c King of Thieves

Shares the first bolt of Djinn and Juice then heads left to the left facing flake.

Sport 8 Norcan Lake
5.10c Itty Bitty Ditty Committee

Sport 7 Norcan Lake
5.10c Genie, I want you to make me a King

Start up the crack up to a bolt. At the ledge, go up the very short face on the right with a bolt. Climb through the roof on fantastic buckets! Anchors can be found after topping out the roof. Enjoy! Stick clip to second bolt is recommended.

Sport 6 Norcan Lake
5.12b Rugman's Whip

Climb the slab to the roof. A series of powerful moves on crimps leads to an exposed mantle before the anchor. Find some feet and go for it!

Sport 7 Norcan Lake
5.12b Street Rat

Excellent climbing with a few different styles thrown in. Some thought-provoking moves up to the roof, then a bouldery pull onto the face which gives the route it's grade, before some slightly easier but more technical work to reach the anchor. A great line that should not be overlooked!

Sport 20m, 10 Norcan Lake
5.10b Wake up and smell the hummus

Extend the 4th bolt at the roof.

Sport 15m, 6 Norcan Lake
5.11 King Julien

Start below the first roof or in the easier corner to the right. Keeping to the right of the bolts, make your way through the face while using the crack in the corner. A great rest prepares your for what’s to come. Fire through the second roof in disbelief of the spectacular sequence required to reach the slab above.

Sport 9 Norcan Lake
5.10a Abu's Overhangs

At the right end of the cliff. Head up the slabby corner crack to some short overhangs. Pull up and through to a good stance before diving into the corner that's a little awkward until you find what you're looking for. Mantle onto the slab above towards the anchors.

FFA: Frank

Sport 6 Norcan Lake
5.11b Snakes and Ladders

This one will make you think at 3 diffrent crux's, it's all there, be patient. Extend 4th and 8th bolt to help reduce rope drag and clip into the perma-draw on the way down to eliminate a dangerous swing when cleaning.

FFA: KieranNorth, 26 Aug 2023

Sport 24m, 10 Norcan Lake

5.8 Phenomenal Cosmic Power

Start on slab going right then left following the weakness in the cliff towards the corner. Pull over hang to gain into off-width. Can be done with a basic rack but always fun to place a #6

FFA: Alexander

Trad 20m Norcan Lake
5.11c Djinn and Juice

A deceiving start leads to a sustained technical crux. Milk the rest that follows then fire through the sloper finish.

Sport 16m, 9 Norcan Lake
