Still pretty loose but all in all, a very good route. The chipped third pitch was way easier than the 10d/11a stated in the guide. Crux was probably the overhanging last pitch where I'm pretty sure we went up Riel Rebellion.

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

Way better than I was expecting! This route is a serious step up in quality from Tonka in my opinion. Solid rock and sustained climbing all the way to the top without one bad pitch. The pitch 5 face climbing is sooooo good.

Fun, pretty cruisey route.

To the left of this one is a couple new routes... one is probably about a 10a, with interesting side pulls down low. The next over is maybe a 5.8 or 5.9. Cool moves pull you over onto the fossilized black slab.

Very easy at the grade -- I'd say no harder than 5.7, probably actually 5.6. But, run-out, so not a good choice for a lead if 5.8 is your limit.

Very easy cruising up this climb. Would be a GREAT route for people to lead for the first time on or to bring their kids up on their first multi-pitch. This multi-pitch 'crag' has a little something for everyone!

Wed 23rd Sep 2020
Led pitches 1 & 3. Felt quite over graded, particularly when compared to Le Soulier at the same crag. At one point I could literally touch 3 bolts at the same time on P3 😂. Definitely great for a beginner lead but otherwise uninspiring.
