First to climb this pitch combination
This climb has varied climbing from hand crack on pitch on to steep challenging dihedral on pitch 2 to the immaculate steady face climbing on pitch 5 to the outstanding crux on pitch 7. This climb has it all adventure, fantastic exposure, great climbing, amazing views out over the foothills towards Calgary over 70 kilometers away.

first ascent on-sight
This is a very steady 5.10+ climb on the upper three pitches. The first access pitch (5.7) has questionable rock but after this pitch the rock quality improves dramatically. This is a Modern Mixed protection route and it takes a wide range of gear along with substantial bolt protection. Take a rack to 3.5" include micro cams and wires. The pitches are long 50+m. The details are all described in the NEW Ghost River Rock Climbs by Andy Genereux 2012.

second time up this climb
This route is "Old School" is run-out in several section particularly the 5.10 pitches. You need good route finding ability and you have to be competent at the grades stated, very competent! That said this is a very worthwhile adventure route and is highly recommended if this is your cup of tea.

on-sight
This is a good route overall. The third pitch is the money bit though and makes this a good route to combine with either Bonanza or Legends of the Fall the two other multi-pitch routes in the Bonanza Bay. See the new Ghost River Rock Climbs (2012) by Andy Genereux for the full details on these climbs.

Super fun mixed protected route.
Well protected good rock, the crux is short and well protected. Steady 5.9-mid 5.10 climbing. Put up rope -solo with a power drill on-sight.

Consolation free soloed/good bit of fun/ walked off
There is a new guide book out for the Ghost called Ghost River Rock Climbs by Andy Genereux in the Spring of 2012. The improved photos and corrected route description help climbers work their way up this Ghost classic traditional climb. Easy access from the parking only 15 minutes up-hill on a good trail.
