5 out of 5 stars SO FUN.

This climb was madly enjoyable. Wicked climbing, great moves with lots of variety, exposure and stellar rock. Get on it!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing climb!

It feels quite exposed stepping off the slab and onto the face with air below you. Just an amazing climb all round with large holds in contrast to the typical skaha crimpers. Has to be my favorite 5.10 yet. Oh, and by the way you can belay from the ground with a 60- just tie your end to be extra safe.

5 out of 5 stars Fun route

Nice route! At 30m tall, and Raven's Castle already rising up from a hillside, it feels a bit exposed. Skaha guidebook is really out of date on this one - it now has 10 bolts. 60m rope might not be long enough for belay, due to the long diagonal traverse to start the route. Just to be safe, I top belayed my second.

5 out of 5 stars Raven & the Bear

Odd little climb with a long traverse at the start that makes cleaning draws fun :P
one tough part I found where the rock gets peachy in color & the holds thin out.

5 out of 5 stars Raven and the Bear

My favorite 9 in all of the bluffs! It really is a 3 star. On the decent stay to the left for a wonderful rappel over a huge ledge.

2 out of 5 stars not as great as the guide says

I'd give it one star not three, and call it a 5.8. Mixed lead, 6 bolts (poorly placed) but with good natural gear and rock.
