5 out of 5 stars Fun Fingerlocks

Super fun climb, definitely one of the best in Little. Can't imagine leading it though, due to the tricky pro at the start.

4 out of 5 stars Best of Schoolroom

Did this in three pitches, which I thought was ideal. Linked the first two and the second two with a 60 meter no problem.

Fun climb, good rock, great views. Always love belaying under the roof.

5 out of 5 stars I Love Granite

One of my favorite climbs of all time. Pitch 2 (I did it in four) detracts form an otherwise amazing route. The last pitch makes the climb. Fiddling gear off the belay is "stimulating". Be sure to runner that piece long to keep the drag down.

4 out of 5 stars Get out on that corner

Fun climb on typical broken and ledgy BCC quartzite. Exposure on the awesome third pitch was incredible.

5 out of 5 stars Holy Arete

Steort's Ridge is an amazing climb, with a little bit of everything. The first pitch is so-so, but the second and third are both incredible.

Be ready for a little crack climbing, and a lot of exposure. Th third pitch is mentally stimulating, although the holds are all there.

I love this problem. Try a heel hook if you are in doubt.

3 out of 5 stars Mellow morning

Lisa Falls Right is a great beginner trad lead, and since it si two pitches, a nice place to teach multi-pitch logistics. That said, the first pitch, as easy as it is, does have decking potential, so be really careful on the secure mantles.

4 out of 5 stars Scary!!

Probably the most "out there" I have ever felt in my life, an adventure for sure. We did the Indecent Exposure Variation, which allegedly avoids some unpleasantries in favor of some fun tree climbing.

I had a 4.5 camalot, and was hella glad on the trough and squeeze pitches. Bring it if you have it, and are timid on off-widths.

The descent is wild, but really fun in a sick way. I am ready to go do this one again, after two years to forget about it.
