2 out of 5 stars Short and easy.

The top is very dirty. I used the anchors from the route on the left. Good route for new trad leaders.

4 out of 5 stars Not in the spirit of sport climbing.

Bring the crashpad and send it boulder stylez.

4 out of 5 stars Nice crack for Ontario!

Very clean finger crack right to the top. A different type of route to try at TV Tower (hand jams/layback). I used 2 of the bolts from the Fin as back-up to my pro. Crux is in the middle. If this climb was near Toronto it would be famous. Noted that the climb has anchors at top.

3 out of 5 stars I. Can't. Do. It.

The middle sequence is hard. This route is totally contrived since an obvious crack is right next to it. Its runs-out to the top.

3 out of 5 stars Hard finish

I dont remember much of the climb except that it gets hard near the anchors. I did the route clean, but I remember it was a struggle.

1 out of 5 stars Big overhanging crux!

This climb doesnt see much traffic despite being the first climb that people come to from the hike up. The route is all about pulling that crazy overhanging crack. If the rest of the climb was better, this would be a must try. BUT the rest is dirty and forgettable.

4 out of 5 stars October

Someday on lead... someday... I've TR'd this so many times... this climb has a little of everything: cracks, small overhangs, some slab, sketchy slings, and vegetation. The crux moves are some of the best at Croker. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Most bolts at Croker?

The climb has a short, difficult, and crimpy crux section. However, the rest of it is not too demanding. That said, it is definately a test of endurance to finish this beast. I'm guessing 5.11d, but I'm tall.

3 out of 5 stars Good warm-up.

Its inferior when compared to Secret Garden but still a nice route. A good warm-up. I also noted that it is slightly more run-out than the average Cape Croker route.

0 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

One of the Escarpment's sweetest cracks. High crux makes it memorable. Next time on lead...
