5 out of 5 stars Fantastic climb!

The first bolt (now) is higher then I at 6'1" can reach with an 8' stick-clip. Nothing to hard to begin with though... just head space.... aaaaaahh!

4 out of 5 stars Babe

This climb is rated 11a in Sport Climbs in the Canadian Rockies (sixth edition). When did this climb get regraded? I can't find anything in Tabvar on this subject.

5 out of 5 stars My first 11c red point!

After sessing the crux several times (which is just past the first bolt), I went for it. After that the hardest thing was staying on with elvis legs and red point jitters.

5 out of 5 stars A nice way to start the year.

I can't believe the holds are this good, I thought this climb was supposed to be really hard? Okay, okay, it’s definitely pumpy and the first climb I’ve ever been on where your belayer can actually turn around when you get a few bolts up.

4 out of 5 stars Is the start to this really 11a?

I found getting to the first bolt was definitely the hardest part with a nice boulder patch to catch you if you blow it. Even stick-clipped I thought this was a trouser filler. The rest of the climb has got some great exposure and some excellent holds to get your head back in check.

4 out of 5 stars No ghosts.

I first got on this climb on Sept 04, 2004. On that day I made it past the crux but got so pumped I couldn't clip the next bolt. In error I kept climbing hoping for a better hold... it never came, only the whip. Fortunately I never decked but it was my biggest fall for sometime.

3 out of 5 stars Breaking into the elevens.

Thought this was a nice climb - not polished like most others to the left. Anchors are way up and left though - not sure why.
