Routes as top rope in Northwest Territories

Just to the right of the bolted routes, up ramp and mig xenoliths past a diagonal, finishing in short hand crack. Top rope off bolt and directional cam

Overhanging seam and arête to share anchors with intro.

Short, simple arete climb with a friendly crack running along the upper portion. Ends in a generous slab.

Slightly more challenging than "School Draw".

A challenging thin finger crack problem, beginning with a vertical, slightly negative angle before moving into a reachy crux and transitioning into the upper slab common to School Draw.

One of the more interesting routes at School Draw. Traverse right across the low flakey crack into the concave, then work your way upward across the slabey face.

Start detention, but instead of following the crack around the overhang go straight over the overhang, and avoid using the detention crack to the right, or the big juggy ledges higher up to the left.

Interesting start through the right most portion of the natural concave provides options for climber to make the problem more or less difficult. For an easier climb, follow the crack to the right. For a more difficult ascent, progress straight up out of the overhanging concave onto the upper slab.

Basically a boulder problem, but easy to rope off for it. Located far right side of established climbing area. Tough crimpy crux.

Forked crack climb starting from a low, angled rising ledge at the base. Can choose the thin right crack for a more challenging climb (5.9?), or the larger left crack for the assigned grade.

Tough crimpy climb with difficult feet. Mix of crimps and slopers. Dominant feature is a thin horizontal crack midway up the face.

Interesting crack system with lots of little crimps and tricky feet. Very enjoyable climb.

Route follows straight up the bolts. Don't need to stray into the crack on the left, or the arete on the right at the first crux. Bouldery crimps through first crux. Second crux at top if you go straight up over the smooth bulge. If you stray left or right through the cruxes it's more of a 5.9.

Note: Beware of the ledge below the first crux if you fall before making the second clip.

Anchor set FAR back from edge. Wouldn't recommend top roping on this cause of bad rope drag/wear. Lower section is slab, upper section is overhung.

If you can get past the crux right at the beginning, the rest of this route is pretty gentle and quite enjoyable. Lots of good interesting holds throughout the upper section. Some nice friendly pockets and slopers provide variety as you move up what might be the longest climb in the area. That starting crux though! It's a choose your own adventure of either a tricky bouldery overhang, or an awkward ledgy shelf with tiny crimps to haul up onto.

Use same anchor bolts as "Sun Dried Tomatoes". Drop the rope to the West side of the bulge. Start climb near distinct crack feature at base of cliff.

Begin inside the cleft created by the large flake and climb up the "chimney" section towards the thin crack in the upper slab. Beware loose rocks as this area is low traffic, and the rock is fairly chossy along the entire ridgeline.

Starts deep inside the cleft. Climb straight up along a bit of a crack like feature on your left. Fun route, interesting moves. Rewards stemming through the mid/upper section.

located to the right and above French Cat. Bouldery start sequence moving around bulge on crimps. Middle section is gentle slab. Final crux pulling over the top where angle changes.

Follow the crack feature more or less the entire way. Crack is ill-defined and flaring at the bottom, but readily distinguishable. Careful of loose rocks, especially in lower section. New anchor has been added.

Newly bolted Fall 2022. Beware loose rock falls in upper section. Start route on small mound with tree stump. First crux is moving from here to the "step" jugs on the right. Second crux is moving back off the top of the steps, left to the upper diagonal crack/small trees.

Likely the best vertical crack in the Yellowknife area. Flaring and ever so slightly overhanging angle makes this a challenging climb. Top rope anchor bolts are available, but the route can be climbed on trad gear.

Arete climb on far right of Cameron Falls crag. Route is divided into sections by nice ledgy crimps/jugs as rest points. Pretty blank after the third one. Face is slightly overhanging which creates a barndoor effect when combined with the angle of the arete side pull.

Routes here are very fresh, and in need of cleaning. Wear your helmets on belay and watch for loose rocks. Popular trail nearby.

Lower from the top to a nice ledge. About half way up the climb there is a fork where you can go left towards a bit of a chimney, which is a bit harder.

Long almost continuous hand/finger crack. High quality route. Some loose rock towards the top, and light vegetation in some areas.
