5.10a South Ridge Trad 350m West Kootenays Mega Classic

Wanted to do this ever since I saw it 3 years ago, and if anything it's even better than I'd imagined! A moderate multipitch in an amazing location on amazing rock, with real climbing on practically every pitch! The move around the roof on pitch 8 is awesome.

One of the best - definitely a highlight of my climbing career. The location is stunning, the rock is bomber from start the finish, the view around the right if the arête is so amazingly airy. All natural with natural belays, a couple of pins here and there. A must do!

Amazing! Perhaps the most spectacular chunk of rock I have ever climbed! First pitch was amazeballs, and the mountain goats like pee. Pitch three was aided because of wet rock

Great climb! Glad I lead the easy stuff. Numb hands and feet and wet rock caused a few falls seconding. Big day but fun!

Led from lunch ledge onwards. Heavy snow season, so although it was painful seconding with 2 sets of crampons, boots and ice axes for the first 4 pitches,very happy to have them on descent. The rock was dry, the weather great, the route spectacular and the camping below the ridge in a stunning location

Rock a lot grittier due to relative lack of traffic, but great line. We rappelled after P 4 as couldn't be arsed to walk down east ridge again.

Awesome day in the alpine, accidentally linked pitch 1 and half of pitch 2. All it all a good day in the mountains.

Very nice climb up to after the crux pitch. The Rock gets chossy and route finding is hard on the last 3 pitches (follow the flakes). There's a spooky runout on pitch 4. Exposure the whole way up!

Wow! What a beautiful, aesthetic route and pleasurable climb. It starts off with a wonderfully curving crack and then every pitch after is really enjoyable. Some thoughtful gear on pitch 3 but otherwise plentiful opportunities. Great rock throughout. The roof pitch higher up is enjoyable and really cool with the exposure. This was Bec's first big alpine rock climb and she definitely stepped up to the plate. She got through 90% of the first pitch before having to sit on the rope and didn't quite stick the roof sequence, but otherwise sent everything else. Super proud of her efforts and stoke on the day. Deservingly classic and keen to come back to explore some of the other routes on this beautiful piece of rock.
