5.10c Catch As Catch Can Sport 20m, 10 Halton Region Good Tue 24th Oct 2017
Fun climbing. Stay right of the bolt line and use the crack (and tree). First couple of bolts are in questionable rock. Some holds at the beginning are quite loose.

 
5.11a 5.10c Nostalgia Sport 15m, 8 Halton Region Classic Tue 24th Oct 2017
A great line with thoughtful and engaging sequences. The first crux is at the 3rd bolt, after you finish resting on the saddle like seat block. Use a deep left hand side pull jug to gain a thin right hand undercling/side pull. Dance your feet up to gain the better holds. An exciting sequence then greets you from the 5th to the 6th bolts. Start with a thin right hand side pull. Match on a flat side pull ramp and shoot up with your right hand to a nice undercling pinch. Do a hard cross with your left hand onto a decent ledge. Huck yourself onto the ledge and find a pizza slice shaped medium edge to rest on. Move right to a undercling pocket; there is a sharp crimp on the bottom of the pocket that you can use as well. Move up and right to some decent holds and clip the anchors.

 
5.10b Slick and the 9mm (Slim and the 9mm) Sport 18m, 9 Red River Gorge Very Good Tue 18th Oct 2011
Fun route.

 
5.10b The King Lives On Sport 21m, 9 Red River Gorge Very Good Wed 7th Sep 2016
An enjoyable climb with plentiful rests in between pumpy sections. It gets slopey for the last third of the climb.

 
5.10b Deeper is Better Sport 18m, 6 Red River Gorge Very Good Sun 8th Oct 2017
A cruxy, technical sequence greets you at the start. Hand and fist jam to pull yourself onto the ledge. Fun power endurance climbing on edges and plates for the rest of the climb.

 
5.10c 5.10b A Brief History of Climbing Sport 23m, 9 Red River Gorge Classic Wed 7th Sep 2016
Classic RRG pumpfest! A bouldery start leads to a rest on a ledge after the 3rd bolt. Clip 2 more bolts, rest on the ledge and then finish the rest of the climb before the pump clock runs out!

 
5.10a Raindancer Sport 9m, 3 Red River Gorge Good Fri 25th Oct 2013
A short pumpy climb.

 
5.10a Savage Beagle Sport 20m, 6 Cheakamus Canyon Very Good Sat 9th Sep 2017
An easy slab leads to fun technical face climbing on medium edges.

 
5.10a Hiromi's Route Sport 21m, 17 Halton Region Very Good Mon 24th Sep 2018
An excellent long route on great holds. It is difficult to avoid touching the tree.

 
5.10a The Hunchback Sport 18m, 9 Halton Region Classic Tue 24th Oct 2017
A great warm up. A pleasant start leads to an overhanging arete filled with jugs!

Fun, short, pumpy climb.

 
5.9 Gridlock Sport 15m, 7 Beaver Valley Very Good Thu 10th Sep 2015

A fun, pumpy warm up for the rest of the climbs here

 
5.9 Miranda Rayne Sport 14m, 7 Red River Gorge Very Good Fri 6th Oct 2017
A fun, pumpy climb.

 
5.9 Domestic Pressure - with Ray Eng, Debby Chiu Sport 15m, 6 Beaver Valley Very Good Fri 7th Aug 2020
Fun! Great face climbing on good holds with a small traverse in the middle. A steep headwall guards the anchors.

 
5.9 Jen's Corner - with Vera May Sport 12m Halton Region Classic Wed 11th Jul 2018
Big holds and fun climbing lead to a exciting transition to the right facing corner finish. Highly recommended!

 
5.9 Vuvuzela Sport 12m, 7 Halton Region Classic Wed 4th Jul 2018
Figure out how to pull the roof sequence (use the pinch) and finish with easy face climbing for the rest of the climb. Fun!

 
5.8 Poppin Cherries Sport 12m, 5 Red River Gorge Average Sun 11th Oct 2015
Easy, but crumbly climb.

 
5.8 Banana Split Sport 11m, 3 Red River Gorge Average Sun 11th Oct 2015
It's ok.... Very crumbly and dirty

 
5.8 I'd Rather be at Whites Bluff Sport 10m, 5 Halton Region Average Thu 28th Apr 2016
Climb past 2 rusty bolts to a tricky crux. I suggest bringing a #4 Camalot C4 and perhaps some other gear to make the rest of the climb comfortable. Average.

 
5.7 5.8 Zoomba Sport 15m, 8 Halton Region Average Wed 29th Jun 2016
Ok slabby/face climbing. Anchors are a little reachy to clip.

 
5.8 Full Metal Jacket Sport Beaver Valley Average Fri 14th Aug 2020
Great handholds but tricky to find footholds

 
5.8 Wally (Right of Pinnacle) Sport 8m, 4 Halton Region Good Wed 15th Apr 2015
One big move after the 3rd bolt.

 
5.8 Low Exposure Sport 8m, 3 Red River Gorge Good Tue 8th May 2012

5.8 Crawling on Glass Sport 14m, 4 Halton Region Very Good Wed 15th Apr 2015
Good route. A little tricky between the 3rd and 4th bolt

 
5.8 Blood n Valour Sport 11m, 8 Beaver Valley Very Good Thu 10th Sep 2015
Nice, fun route.

 
5.8 Boy Pie Sport 12m, 6 Cheakamus Canyon Very Good Fri 8th Sep 2017
Fun, juggy, flake climbing

 
5.8 Tipping Point (Tipping Point P1)
1 5.8 lead by Raymond Kam
Sport 11 Rumney Very Good Sun 2nd Jun 2019
Only did the first pitch. Fun slab climbing. 70m rope recommended

 
5.8 Le centenaire Sport 75m, 8 Montagne d'Argent Classic Sat 7th Nov 2015
A tricky start leads to easy slab for 2 pitches. The last pitch is very fun face climbing.

 
5.8 27 Years of Climbing Sport 20m, 7 Red River Gorge Classic Sat 22nd Oct 2011
A great beginner lead. Lots of jugs, a little bit of pump and a tricky section up top.

5.7 Pocahontas Path Sport 8m, 3 Red River Gorge Average Fri 25th Oct 2013

5.7 If You Can’t Have the Mother, Have the Daughter Sport 11m Beaver Valley Very Good Sun 12th Jul 2015
5.7 The Big Easy Sport 10 Rumney Very Good Mon 3rd Jun 2019
Fun. Only did the first pitch. Accidentally went on the Bourbon Street (5.10c) for second pitch. Bailed off of that.

 
5.7 Who's That Change Guy Sport 15m, 10 Beaver Valley Classic Thu 10th Sep 2015
Great warmup route. Starts off with a nice traverse and continues with lots of jugs. Great route for the new sport leader.

 
5.6 Helios Sport 10m, 5 Beaver Valley Good Fri 22nd Jul 2016
Another easy, fun slab climb

 
5.6 Return of the Jingoid Sport 14m, 6 Beaver Valley Very Good Thu 10th Sep 2015
Fun and easy!

 
5.6 Model Citizen - with Debby Chiu Sport 9 Rumney Very Good Sun 2nd Jun 2019
Really fun sport multipitch. First pitch is vertical. Belay from a small nook after you top out. 2nd pitch is super easy slab to an anchor below a big ledge. Rap station should use rings instead of those sketchy weird J hooks.

 
5.6 Eureka Sport 26m, 8 Red River Gorge Mega Classic Wed 30th May 2012
A fun first lead for a new sport leader.

 
5.5 Mary Pop-Parazzi Sport 8m, 3 Red River Gorge Average Fri 25th Oct 2013
5.5 Betty Sport 10m, 9 Beaver Valley Good Sat 23rd Jul 2016
Fun warm up climb.

 
5.5 Apocalypse Now Sport Beaver Valley Very Good Tue 11th Aug 2020
A great, easy jug haul for new leaders.

 
5.5 Snakelet Sport 14m Beaver Valley Mega Classic Fri 14th Aug 2020
Fun, easy, sport multi pitch.

 
5.0 5.4 Arrête Pas ((unnamed 2)) Sport 20m, 8 Montagne d'Argent Average Fri 3rd Jul 2015
Really easy climb

 
5.10b Armed, Dangerous and Off My Medication - with Cynthia Kett, Alex Norris Sport 25m, 10 Rumney Mega Classic Mon 3rd Jun 2019
An excellent overhanging route with some variety of movement Start with a couple of delicate moves until you meet a roof. Use the pinchy undercling to pull over and dance your way up some slab until you meet an overhanging headwall. Collect yourself and then proceed up the overhung, power-endurance finish on gigantic holds.

 
5.10a Egg McMeadows Sport 15m, 5 Rumney Good Sat 1st Jun 2019
Fun face climbing

 
5.10a 59" Drillbitch (59) Sport 14m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Tue 8th May 2012
5.10a Bethel Sport 15m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Tue 8th May 2012
5.10a Bulldozer Sport 12m, 4 Red River Gorge Very Good Fri 9th Oct 2015
Bouldery start. Fun face climbing leads to thin holds at the finish.

 
5.10a Perverse Intentions Sport 12m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Thu 8th Sep 2016
Fun face climbing on a very subtle overhang.

 
5.10a Fadda Sport 15m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Sat 10th Sep 2016
A beautiful, technical face climb. Fun!

 
5.9 5.10a Pogue Ethics Sport 24m, 10 Red River Gorge Classic Thu 8th Sep 2016
A fun, long, jug haul.

 
5.9 Jump For Joy Sport 15m, 4 Red River Gorge Good Sat 10th Sep 2016
A contrived dyno crux start with high potential for ground fall leads to an otherwise pleasant face climb. Stick clip the second bolt.

 
5.7 5.9 Bollero Sport 17m, 6 Halton Region Very Good Wed 29th Jun 2016
I have no idea why this wonderful crack was bolted. It takes gear just fine. A red tricam near the top makes the finish more comfortable. Very fun. Some say it is graded 5.9, but it most certainly is not.

 
5.9 Creature Feature Sport 18m, 8 Red River Gorge Classic Thu 8th Sep 2016
Really fun set of moves to pull the crux roof sequence. Fun jugs for the remainder of the climb.

 
5.8 Mirror Image Sport 20m, 6 Cheakamus Canyon Average Fri 8th Sep 2017
Straightforward technical slab.

 
5.8 friction constitutionnelle Sport 15m, 4 Montagne d'Argent Very Good Fri 3rd Jul 2015
Fun, slab climbing

 
5.8 Metamorphosis Sport Rumney Mega Classic Mon 3rd Jun 2019
One of the best 5.8 sport routes I have climbed! Very long (use a 70m rope to be sure), sustained and varied in movement.

 
5.7 Peanut Butter Punch Sport 11m, 6 Halton Region Don't Bother Mon 28th Aug 2017
A new, chossy, dirty sport line that has sprung up. It doesn't have very good movement; I wonder why it was bolted at all.

 
5.7 Foxtrot Sport 15m, 8 Halton Region Average Wed 29th Jun 2016
Nice warmup climb.

 
5.7 Don't Look, Just Climb Sport 9m, 4 Beaver Valley Good Tue 9th Sep 2014
5.7 Arete, Eh? Sport 9m, 3 Beaver Valley Good Tue 9th Sep 2014
5.7 Rise And Shine Sport 15m, 5 Rumney Good Sat 1st Jun 2019
Fun face climbing!

 
5.6 Called Out Sport 9m, 5 Beaver Valley Good Tue 9th Sep 2014
5.6 Just a 5.6 Sport 9m, 5 Beaver Valley Good Tue 9th Sep 2014
5.6 Sneakers and Roids Sport 15m, 10 Beaver Valley Very Good Thu 30th Jul 2015
A really pleasant easy sport climb with gym like bolting and tons of jugs

 
5.6 nagasaki Sport 20m, 3 Montagne d'Argent Very Good Fri 3rd Jul 2015
Fun, but the bolts are a little run out

 
5.0 5.3 Péché Mignon ((unnamed 1)) Sport 23m, 9 Montagne d'Argent Good Thu 3rd Jul 2014
Super easy and fun.

 
5.7 5.11b Serpentine Sport 12m, 6 Beaver Valley Very Good Thu 21st Aug 2014
5.11a Johnny B. Good Sport 26m, 9 Red River Gorge Mega Classic Tue 10th Oct 2017
A really fun route. Boulder up onto a ledge and then climb an easier, low angle face section. The last overhanging section feels a lot longer than it looks. Rest under the roof and then use a large left hand undercling pocket to pull onto a right hand jug. Find your feet, then throw for a large flake with your left hand and match hands. Shake out and then use a left hand crimp to bump to a juggy pocket. Cross into several jugs and then throw for the slopey ramp with your right hand. Bump your right hand up the ramp, compress and then right heel hook the ramp. Finish off on juggy pockets to clip the chains.

 
5.10d Breakfast Burrito Sport 24m, 10 Red River Gorge Mega Classic Thu 8th Oct 2015
An incredible, pumpy route. I leaned out of the alcove to clip the crux clip. Absolutely one of the best for the grade.

 
5.10d Red Line Fever Sport 14m, 7 Halton Region Mega Classic Mon 28th Aug 2017
An excellent, sustained route. It starts out with fun climbing on jugs for 3 bolts and transitions into thin side pulls. For the crux section, gain the polished ledge and find the right hand side pull around the arete. Rejoice as you paddle up on jugs up to the anchors.

 
5.10c I Owe a Lot of Money to a Man Named Guido Sport 17m, 6 Halton Region Good Thu 21st Sep 2017
Easy 5.8 climbing for two thirds of the route. Pull yourself onto a ledge and then face climb through the crux on small to medium edges; it is a surprisingly short 4 to 5 moves. A fun route, but I find it is overrated; there are better and more consistent 5.10c climbs at Nemo.

 
5.10c Don't Drink and Dive Sport 14m, 4 Halton Region Very Good Thu 21st Apr 2016
Went back and sent it. Easy climbing until the third bolt. Here's the spray down: For the crux, use a left hand gaston in the thin crack and right hand sloper by the bolt. Lock off and reach for a right hand crimp with a small thumb catch. Get your feet to the left. Use your left hand to reach a 2 finger jam (index and middle finger). Lock off again and you'll reach an amazing jug with your right hand. end spray Very fun sequence. The 4th bolt hanger is a little rusted and spinning

 
5.10c Odyssey Sport 20m, 14 Halton Region Very Good Mon 18th Sep 2017
Climb a thin crack to the first overhang. The route eases off until the final overhang. Find the hidden jugs up and right of the overhang and then pull hard to reach the end. Fun!

 
5.10c Thunder Road Sport 12m Halton Region Very Good Fri 6th Sep 2019
Short and fun but with a bit of a cryptic crux. Climb easily up 3 bolts until you meet a small roof. Use sidepulls to gain a shallow left hand sidepull pocket. The chalked up rail to the right deceptively lulls you in; Find the 2 finger, 1 pad crimp on the left of this rail to pull on and then bump your left hand up to a nice juggy side pull. Work through the juggy but strenuous crack to pull the roof. Finish on easier face climbing.

 
5.10c As You Like It Sport 15m, 7 Halton Region Classic Tue 13th Jun 2017
A fun and engaging route. I recommend stick clipping the 2nd bolt to prevent ground fall. The crux is at the start; power through the opening sequence and then cruise through the middle of the climb. The route gets thin again at the last 2 bolts up until the anchor (face climbing on medium edges).

 
5.10c The G-Man Sport 12m, 6 Red River Gorge Classic Fri 6th Oct 2017
An excellent, sustained line. It gets cruxy between the 2nd and 4th bolts.

 
5.10d 5.10c Ten - D - Nitus Sport 16m, 8 Halton Region Mega Classic Thu 21st Sep 2017
An excellent line that slowly increases in difficulty as you climb up. Just before the roof, veer left. Going right or straight up to clip the bolt looks very inviting but will pump you out, so head left then clip the bolt. Climb up to the roof and then reach through the roof notch for the massive jug. Reach up to the massive flake jug on the right to finish the climb. Awesome. I feel that it feels more like a 5.10d (I'm comparing it to a similar route Red Line Fever)

 
5.10b Chantilly Lace Sport 20m, 9 Beaver Valley Very Good Wed 11th Jul 2012
5.10a 5.10b Everything But The Kitchen Sink Sport 12m, 5 Beaver Valley Very Good Tue 23rd Aug 2016
Fun, pumpy overhang climbing on decent holds. Find the crucial sidepull undercling!

 
5.10b Murano Sport 23m, 9 Red River Gorge Very Good Wed 7th Sep 2016
Easy climbing on jugs for the first 6 bolts. The rest of the climb is tricky, slopey slab climbing. Cut out to the left after clipping the 7th bolt to reach some nice plate like jugs. Fun and not your usual climb in the Red.

 
5.10b When Rats Attack Sport 17m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Thu 5th Oct 2017
Fun face climbing on slopey holds.

 
5.10b Make a Wish Sport 23m, 8 Red River Gorge Very Good Sun 8th Oct 2017
A powerful, bouldery start that leads to juggy climbing. After passing the roof, climb pockets and edges to the top of the climb.

 
5.9 5.10b Mack The Knife Sport 12m, 6 Beaver Valley Classic Fri 31st Jul 2020
How this could possibly have been a 5.9 is beyond me. It is a fun route with pumpy arete climbing. Start on some easy climbing holds until you meet a small roof. Slap the arete with your left hand and find a decent right hand underling under this roof. Bump up to side pull crimp with your right hand. Find the foot holds and continue using the arete until you get to a ledge. Easy climbing after this. Great climb!

 
5.10b Lost in the Forest Sport 14m, 7 Halton Region Classic Wed 2nd Sep 2015
Fun, consistent, face climbing on medium edges.

 
5.10b Is She Pretty Sport 17m, 7 Halton Region Mega Classic Wed 2nd Sep 2015
Excellent line. Fun moves coming out of the cave.

 
5.10b Wasp in Space Sport 15m, 9 Halton Region Mega Classic Tue 21st Jun 2016
A really fun and consistent line. Short pumpy sequences punctuated with excellent rest sections.

 
5.10a Sun Worshiper Sport 11m, 6 Beaver Valley Good Tue 23rd Aug 2016
Balancy. After you clip the 3rd bolt, you can go left and use delicate moves to reach the next bolt. I opted to move right to a pocket to gain the ledge with the shrub and then I traversed back left to the next bolt. It ends with a delicate layback sequence.

 
5.10a Captain Cave Man Sport 10m, 5 Halton Region Very Good Tue 16th Sep 2014
5.10a Veronica Sport 10m, 6 Beaver Valley Very Good Mon 1st Sep 2014
5.10a Madames Deconvience Sport 15m, 7 Halton Region Very Good Mon 29th Sep 2014
5.10a Pins and Needles Sport 15m, 5 Beaver Valley Very Good Sat 23rd Jul 2016
An excellent line. Pretty sustained for the first 2 bolts; there is a bouldery crux right after you clip the second bolt and then it is easy climbing for the rest of the route. Very fun!

 
5.10a Domestic Pressure-Direct - with Ray Eng, Debby Chiu Sport 9m, 4 Beaver Valley Very Good Fri 7th Aug 2020
Great climbing on good rock.

Crux section starts at a steep headwall before the anchors. From a left hand hueco, grab a shallow right hand undercling. Bump your left hand to a crimp, clip and then bump your left hand up to a decent hold. Next, use a right hand pinchy crimp for balance, left hand lock off, rock over onto the right foot and throw to a good side pull.

 
5.10a Live Bait Sport 17m, 9 Halton Region Classic Fri 25th Jul 2014
Excellent line. The start is very polished; be very careful.
