攀登 in Powell River

Maybe the best 10 I’ve ever done

Technical lower down, then a finger shredder above!

Small sharp holds in the upper section make for a tough pitch. Unfortunately, I sliced my finger when a hold blew while making an undercling move. Seems like an excellent and worthwhile pitch!

Awkward transition to the roof. Quality route!

Hard crux section at the top. I pumped out by trying to place too much gear below.

Top roped to get my gear back.

Powerful moves with what appears to be sparse but good gear. A challenging lead.

Excellent route! Great laybacks and fun moves. It was raining, so we just top roped.

Fun!

Excellent route! Goes up a challenging rail of slopers which made for poor feet and specific body positioning. Seems rather sandbagged for original grade of 5.9.

Another great route! Fun, with some reachy moves. Also seems a bit sandbagged at 5.9. Reminds me of some 10b climbs at Skaha.

Fun route! It was raining so we top roped.

Slightly tough layback start which led to easier jamming above. Fun! Raining so we top roped.

Fun jams and cool moves.

Easy jug fest

Awkward chimney. Fun, though.
