Routes in Acephale for selected grade

Spectacular, technical climbing on bullet limestone, rises in difficulty. One of the best of the grade in the country.

Climb immediately right of Swelltone Theatre- ascending onto a ledge, backcleaning quickdraws to reduce drag. Shallow pockets in bulging grey stone define the cruxes.

From the top of Dales Extender, execute one really hard move off a mono. This route might be a very fast tick if you have tendons of steel! It might also end your climbing season......

Start to the right of a yellow corner capped by a roof. Follow the blue streak on edges and pockets to a high crux. Manufactured and glued.

From the shattered ledge, head up to the horizontal break and veer left. Difficult moves in the overhanging lead into a scoop. Finish with easier climbing on cool pockets. This boulder problem is probably the most tried 5.13 in Alberta. Basically a v8 boulder problem.

Short cruxes separated by good rests lead to sustained climbing, a stout deadpoint move and a dicey edit onto the upper slab. A final tough move below the anchor keeps things interesting.

The last route on the far right of the wall. A viciously crimpy and technical crux at the second bolt stops must suitors in their tracks. If you survive this section, easier climbing with plenty of rests leads to a heartbreaking finish.

A vicious v7/v8 boulder problem off the ground into a great 12a. Not Classic.
