등정들 West Kootenays에서 David Gibbs에 의한 trad-cpr 또는 ascent-date를 가진

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.

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

Getting off the ledge and established in the corner crack was an interesting challenge. Takes good gear once at the crack.

Far easier than "Reluctant Gardner". I' not sure it is harder than 5.5 -- but I might call it 5.6 for one move.

Early gear is a bit iffy, but otherwise pretty good.

Good gear and good climbing throughout.

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.

Nice climbing up exfoliating flakes and slabs above the ledge.
