This is NOT the same 5.7 trad climbing as "Son of a Birch".

5.6 5.7 | ★ Son of a Birch | 18m | West Kootenays | ★ Good | Tue 1st Sep 2020 | ||||
Far easier than "Reluctant Gardner". I' not sure it is harder than 5.5 -- but I might call it 5.6 for one move.

5.8 | ★★ Smells Like Pine | 18m | West Kootenays | ★★ Very Good | Wed 2nd Sep 2020 | ||||
Like several other trad routes I've climbed in the area, felt like climbing stacked blocks in places. Gear looked generally pretty good, if you avoided the looser bits. But seemed really hard for a 5.7, even climbing it on TR.

5.7 | ★★ Invisible Crack | 15m | West Kootenays | ★★ Very Good | Thu 3rd Sep 2020 | ||||
The WKRG update describes this as a "gear-eating crack" -- but it isn't my idea of a such. To me, that means, anywhere you stop, you've got at least a couple good placements within easy reach. Not so on this. The gear isn't bad... but it isn't "gear-eating crack" quality of good.
