5.8 | ★★ Two Eggs, Over Easy - with Karla K | 12m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★ Very Good | Sat 10th Apr 2021 | |||
#3. This was definitely more challenge than the 5.6 warmups (duh) but also more fun.

5.8 PG Easy | ★★ Romancing the Stone - with Will S | 9m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | Wed 30th Nov 2022 | ||||
#4. Sketchy trad lead (no gear for the first half) but loads of fun on TR, even with the swing potential to the right.
Got to the anchor after an easy top out and walk over above Mr. Miagi. |

5.8 | ★ Welcome to Nova Scotia Christopher - with Will S | 9m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★ Good | Sat 7th May 2022 | |||
#1. I cleared some deadfall across the trail above JP's arete (maybe near Univ. Wall?) while Will and his son set up this route, then had a quick go on TR. Nice route on TR, would be hard to lead.

5.8 | ★ See With Joy - with Lynette Reid, Karla K, Leigh M, Megan D | 13m | Sorrow's End | Mon 19th Oct 2020 | ||||
#6. Didn't bother to explore trad placements here, since everyone said it's bomber and very easy to protect. Ran up it in 5 mins on TR. Would lead this on trad next time.

||||||||
5.8 | ★★ Recognition - with Lynette Reid, Karla K, Leigh M, Megan D | 15m | Sorrow's End | Mon 19th Oct 2020 | ||||
#4. Safer start than Dreamberry Wine, but also includes a long runout layback section... so while the climb is awesome, I'd consider the pro PG unless you're good at jamming and placing gear. (I'm not there yet.)
|
||||||||
5.8 | ★ Sorrow's End - with Will S | 9m | Sorrow's End | Average | Wed 11th May 2022 | |||
#1. Will lead, I just TR'd. Could probably lead this next time, though would have to climb it differently.
|
||||||||
5.8 | ★★ Tradasaurus - with Karla K, Jamie S | 20m, 5 | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★ Good | Sat 16th Jan 2021 | |||
#2 of the day. Frozen toes couldn't hold me back from trying this - since Jamie was so kind to rope solo it and leave the rope up, it gave me a chance to TR and clean it. Good route, will have to take a closer look at it when I'm not freezing my toes and hands off.
|
||||||||
5.8 | ★★★ "1492" - with WIll S | 9m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★ Very Good | Sat 16th Apr 2022 | |||
#2. Will led, I TR'd. Would have been a sketchy lead for me, but might have to go back at some point at try it myself.
|
||||||||
5.8 | Animal House - with Will S | Musquodoboit Valley Area | Sun 23rd Oct 2022 | |||||
#1. Will lead & cleaned. I TR'd and got up to the tree-in-the-way middle section, spent some time hanging to clear the tree, then re-did the section after the gardening. Fun route. Moved the anchor over to tree above Uxbrige and Revenge.
|
||||||||
5.8 G | ★ Ronald MacDonald Goes Climbing - with Will S | 18m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | Wed 30th Nov 2022 | ||||
#1. Should have led this but was feeling a bit uncertain, so Will led it. 3 medium cams to the ledge, then lowered off the bail biner rather than going all the way up to the big tree / ledge above Penis Envy.
Will have to lead this next time. |

5.8 | ★★★ Itchy and Scratchy - with Peter McVey | 25m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★★ Classic | Sun 2nd Sep 2018 | |||
Thanks to the hospitality of the local climbing community, I had the pleasure of seconding this wonderful route (second pitch only). Great as a second/TR. Not a lot of places for protection, but the few that are there are awesome. Great end to the day.

||||||||
5.8 | ★★ Castle Breach - with Joshua Matsell Sullivan, K Sullivan, Climb-Connors, Bianca S, Dave C | Musquodoboit Valley Area | Sat 28th Aug 2021 | |||||
#5. Kevin's lead, Josh's second/clean. Then I ran up it on TR. Great climb, should give this a whirl as a trad lead some time.
|
||||||||
5.8 | ★★★ Nutcracker - with Climb-Connors, general leung, john vellone, keith wong | Beaver Valley | ★★★ Classic | Sat 25th Jun 2016 | ||||
Awesome crack climb. Swung off once just before the overhang crux, rested a couple times. Amazed that General was able to trad lead this route - it felt more like a 5.10+ than a 5.8, even as a mere TR.

Karla had no problems with this one; John got stuck at a tricky layback stem move.
Medium cams, some nuts.
