Way better than I was expecting! This route is a serious step up in quality from Tonka in my opinion. Solid rock and sustained climbing all the way to the top without one bad pitch. The pitch 5 face climbing is sooooo good.

Swinging leads all the way to the top with Clara. Great day after we initially got lost in the morning.

Gave this a quick raz before the rain set in. Pretty sweet route.

A bit more loose and insecure than its next door neighbour. Still worth it if you're there though.

One of the best of the grade I've climbed. Super long with awesome holds all the way.

Climbs remarkably better than it looks!

Send in hiking boots. Certainly increased the difficulty substantially.

Putting the draws up for Clara's new proj.

Still pretty loose but all in all, a very good route. The chipped third pitch was way easier than the 10d/11a stated in the guide. Crux was probably the overhanging last pitch where I'm pretty sure we went up Riel Rebellion.

Nice jug hauling with a tricky finish. Would be much better if I wasn't constantly dipping my hands in rat shit. All part of the outdoors though I guess........

Nice and exposed on the arete. Kind of run out if you're not very confident at the grade.

Super weird pinches on this one. I liked them though.

Almost made it! This climb is basically 10 V2-V3 boulder problems stacked on top of each other up an overhanging arete with a nice no hands rest halfway up. Such a beauty and hopefully I'll be able to try it again. Just ran out of juice near the top on the onsight burn and screamed like a scared goat as I took a nice big lob.

Gets good up high after an insecure first half.

This is a 5.5, just upside down.

Could clip three bolts from the one jug. #bold

Bloody hard 5.8!

So effing good. Almost creamed myself after doing this route. Next time I go for the green point ;-). Looking up at the continuation Sonnie did for "The Path 14a" and I was in absolute shock and awe at what that man can do on trad gear!!

Got a bit crossed up through the balancy section then ended up cutting loose like a goose going for the jug. Terrible form but made it through haha.

Love routes this steep at this grade. So fun!

Perfect warm up. Love at first sight for the Lake Louise Rock.

Heard a pop from the pinky finger and lowered down. Don't think I'll be cranking anything hard for a while :-(

Scary start with no stick clip on offer. Then pump management to the top. Seemed super stiff for the grade.

Didn't do the harder direct start but joined up after bailing off the Three Roofs. Top pitch is money!

Magical up through the steep stuff with big spans and drop knees galore!

Approach pitch to Sisyphus goes to Hollywood.

Classy as bro.

Crux is sort but super hard on terrible holds. more line 5.11c/d

Weird stemming.

Nice leading by Clara.

Turned this into a trad climb when Kelly couldn't find her bolts then belayed off a twig. Continued the tradition of Tuesday multi pitches with a feast of leftover wings on top.

Two laps on this gem. Gradually steepening pocket jugs all the way to glory.

Rock looks grey and yuk but climbs like gold.

Wow fist sized pockets

Yuk. Crap rock and stupid high first bolt. You know it's bad when you knock off half the crag just by pulling your rope.

Much better than it's next door neighbour. Good rock quality and intriguing slab moves.

Exciting solo up to what was meant to be the belay ledge. Got scared with the rock flaking underneath me and generally climbing like balls.

Climbed it in five long pitches. Super nice rock and very generously bolted.

Better than it's gross approach pitch. Even though the climbing was average, I loved being outside for the first time since winter.

"Introduction to trad climbing". I disagree, spaced bolts mixed with some terrible gear placements.
