4 out of 5 stars Ballista, Tunnel mountain

wow, hard sports multipitch! found hardest was 1st pitch for us, hard warming up with steep pumpy start of 10a. Crux 10c pitch is tecnical slab, with sensitive smear move, quite fun!! had so many loose rock, without them, can be great route. lots of different style of climb in one route, include hard slab (2nd, 4th, 8th), steep vertical section (1st, 4th, 7th), stemming, sidepull, and AO section!!(7th)

Second climb on Yam. First two pitches are so polished, but climbing was awesome after that. Lots of chimney climb, and exposure of last 5.6 pitch is great! Fun!

5 out of 5 stars Takakkaw Fall

Climbing is easy, but location (Next to huge waterfall!!) and cave (dark, nallow 100m to go!) makes this climbing special! May be one of the greatest climb in Canadian Rockies! Lead 8th pitch, bolted 5.6 section besides waterfall!

5 out of 5 stars Grand Sentinel

Nice hike to approach, great scenery, and beautiful pinnacle to climb. One of the best route in Canadian Rockies! Lay back, Jamming, Stemmin, lots of fun move. Note: Some loose section should be climbed with extreme caution.
