Ascents in Vancouver Island

I love chert bands!

Gets my vote for worst climb at Horne Lake lol Had walked by it for years and should have kept walking by it. Not sure if there is better beta but I ended up campusing the crux and trying way too hard on slippery soapy feet ha ha

My vote for best 5.10 at Horne Lake! It starts on slightly chossy rock, but then it becomes 25 meters of chert band climbing on amazing rock!

It looks like this climb had been modified from the original 10d. It now goes straight up through a reachy thin section 3/4 of the way up, rather than where the old bolts were through a really chossy section that would have been easier.

Quite dirty and hard to read.

A bit dirty and weird but enjoyable. Two bolt plates at the anchor, no rings I'd clip the bolt and not the end of the first chain if doing again.

Fun climb. The wooden plank with the name is a bit hidden below the start. No rings at the anchor, only bolt plates.

Excellent route, with the crux down low. Very cool moves!

Meh.

Excellent movement, some tough sequences, and a spicy finish. Highly recommended!

Good, burly start!
