5.10- ~5.9 Ears Between (Direct) - with Bec Perky Alpine 260m Classic
Josh Worley
The direct version adds 2 amazing pitches to this climb. Good thrutchy crack climbing down low to super fun parallel cracks up high. Definitely worth it however I think it's more 5.9 than 10-. Great to finally do this Bugaboo entry classic and Bec did super well. Got the full Bugaboo experience as well with a storm blowing in for the final pitch.

 
5.6 Lion's Way - with Bec Perky Alpine 200m

Super fun route and a great one to share with friends and Bec.

Climbed the Kain Route as a rest day activity. left camp around 11am and summited around 3pm. Easy scrambling up to the chimney which goes in one 40m pitch. some exposed moves on the ridge lead you to, and warm you up for, the gendarme. Fun moves in approach shoes through the Gendarme slab... I sure was happy there was fixed gear, because the rest is kinda manky.

We did a mix of Simul climbing and short ropeing on the west ridge. lots of easy places to stop and belay off horns. used a 2,1 and .75 to protect the downclimb off the 3'd peak.

5.9 surfs up Alpine 350m Good
Crazy_Pete
Attempted to link west Ridge of Pigeon and Surfs up in a day. Turns out Route finding on the first 4 pitches of Surfs up is very complex. I got off route on the first pitch and ended up climbing something closer to 10b on loose rock with little gear. The 2nd and 3'd pitches went better although still felt harder then expected with vertical stemming and little gear to protect. After mucking around route finding on the 4th pitch with no luck we decided to bail. 3-40m raps got us back to ground, but I suspect you could go this with a 70m using an intermediate station after the first rap from the alcove belay.

Great quality crack climbing not too far from camp. Low commitment (bolted anchors). Rapped down after pitch 4. The 5.9 was the crux for me. Bring a #4 and extra nuts (for pitch 2) and #2-3 (for pitch 4) or run it out!

Josh Worley
Wow! What a fantastic route. The crux would probably get a 19 at Frog buttress back home and is super fun. The 4th pitch is no doubt the best pitch of climbing I have ever done in the mountains, twin cracks pulling a small roof into a splitter hands corner to another roof. Amazingly delightful! Stoked I got to lead both of those pitches We banged this out early as weather was predicted to come in and we figured if it held we could get another route done. Climbed in 2.5hrs however the rain started at 10:30am rather than 6pm. This is the mountians!

Super classic line. Done in 10hrs camp to camp with Brendan. We pitched the approach scramble in the dark as we were not sure if we were in the right place. Pitched the first 3 and then simul-climbed to the top in 2 blocks. The summit traverse is fun and exposed and the descent is nice. Such a great route and a good first one for the Bugs! Stoked

One of my most incredible days out climbing, everything flowed so nicely. Nick H led P1 and P2, then we simul'd the rest of it. Took around 12 hours round trip from Applebee (3am to 3pm from memory) and didn't encounter a soul. Glorious swim in the lake at the end. Perfection

For the big boys and girls only. Climbed the original route (with the tricky route-finding downlow). Led the aid crux, climbed all the 11+ free climbing free on second carrying the massive pack. Two bivies on the summit. Horrible rappel with ropes getting stuck in schrunds and rock grooves. Big adventure out with Splawinski. I bonked and lost my shit a few times but we complemented each other well. Steph Abegg's topo is spot on.
