Routes in Echo Canyon

Start off the log platform and climb immaculate grey stone on perfectly sculpted holds to anchors in some cool chert. Classic

The first route encountered at The Hideaway from the approach trail, to the left of Welcome Mat. The first bolt is to keep the belayer away, as the climb starts left of the first bolt. Stick clip 2nd or 3rd bolt. If you survive the two reachy boulder problems to begin, the rest is in the Gucci Bag.

A powerful start, gains an alcove via a mantle. Step out and pull pinches and slopered crimps to gain a fun roof on long pulls. Meanders and lacks flow, but on great stone.

A tough crux gains a jug (the wedge). Tricky side pulls above. Watch the ground fall potential 2nd bolt to 3rd (stick clip highly recommended)

Two crispy cruxes are separated by a monster jug.

This fantastic route opens with a smallxrux that gains the grey streak above. From the streaks top, another crux stands between you and a beautiful finish.

Hard and insecure entry moves lead to a great layback up the right facing corner. A very tricky lip encounter over the roof leads to a fun and exposed finish .

Alternate start.

The must do classic 5.11 of the Hideaway. Fun technical cruxes separated by big rests. Enjoy

Be prepared to get your crimp on. Start in a small, right facing corner and tread right onto a grey, crimpy wall.

Start halfway up the steps. A thuggish crux pulls the low roof and leads to a tough micro crimp Crux.

Begin at the top of the stairs. Technical and sustained face climbing weaves up the beautiful grey streak.

This route begins in front of a small tree with technical side pulls, underclings, and crimps. Sustained

From the anchors of Undercover Brother, trend left onto a tough slab. Jug thuggery leads up the overhang above.

This pitch is a must do for the grade. Amazing holds lead to traverse past a yellow corner. Great, classy climbing above with the crux sequence at the top. At the last bolt, climb left in order to reach the anchor.

PLans are to move bolts an make this a doable route without a stick clip. A bouldery start with long reaches to fun climbing. Definitely height dependable!

Stick clip the high first bolt or climb left of the first bolt to reach it. Climb the right side of a very cool corner to a tricky, thin, powerful bulge. Easier but technical climbing gains the anchor above. Equipped with a new Lower Off.

start in front of the two-pronged tree, Sloper edges lead to a short corner. Pull around to the right and prepare for difficulty in the upper corner and roof.

This is a great route with some scary but safe moves over multiple hanging slabs.

One of the BV’s steepest routes features multiple cruxes separated by large rests.

Steep line up the right hand side of the cave.

Climb Hand Party, but move right to finish at Morpheus anchor.

Climbs the lip of the cave with a very steep ending. It's the only climb with glue in bolts. If it's not wet give it a go!

Power endurance, puzzling climbing up the solid, bullet limestone face.

Bizarre, technical climbing up the beautiful immaculate, grey face. Tic-tac your way up on tiny grips, to an intricate crux requiring some serious footwork near the top.

Classy boulder problems separated by an acceptable rest.

This route follows the white and yellow streak. A fiendishly cryptic sequence down low leads to excellent featured climbing and a heartbreak crux at the top.

Hard face climbing leads into 5.13 slab! Not everyone's cup of tea. But unique with very powerful footwork.

Multiple cruxes give way to a final crux and a dash to the anchor. A tricky onsight!

Has been called the best 12C in the Rockies by the few who know where this route is. Climbs next to the very chossy cave (first bolt rock is abit loose). Get ready for every style of climbing for 35m's! Begins with a burly roof, into a very balancey, technical face climb up a stunning streak, around a powerful Boulder problems into more technical climbing on a hard slab. This route is for people who love climbing! ( not just one style) enjoy this classic!

If you can digest the choss at the bottom, you’ll be rewarded above. A crux at the roof is followed by an amazing head wall.

A fun rest day climb! Not exactly in echo cave's sector. But down from the cave and on the same wall that heads up to the Lookout you can find this route. It's the first route on the approach path, left of Where The Wild Things are.

Abit of a bush bash for the first few bolts gets you on a ledge where the rock turns perfect. Climb the big scoop with a engaging crux!

Blocky climbing gets you into a fun arête. A few more moves gains a slab of immaculate stone. It's all in the feet!

The lookouts best 11a !! Enjoy this sustained superb route on fantastic stone. The ending is unreal and gains a excellent position. Technical and powerful! What more can you ask for

Fun climbing to the big roof where guess where the crux is. One move wonder

Climb the immaculate arête on big holds. Super great for the grade

Possibly the worst, loosest route at Echo!

This technical and very balancey, long route is a climbers dream! Feels like a total adventure

Great technical climbing up fantastic rock! No real crux, just tons of mini ones.

Very hard to read and quite perplexing in sections. Another technical masterpiece at the Lookout on amazing stone.

One of the best 11b/c's in the valley! A fantastic crux down low with a big move is followed by technical climbing with great rests. A steep ending with another short crux finishes it with a sensational position.

Hard for grade but that's what "D" grades are like. Stick clip is recommend as there is a hard move straight off the bat. Sustained technical climbing with a few more powerful moves brings you to a small corner/roof. A in your face crux surmounts it on sloppers. A very pumpy finish concludes it.

The newest addition to The Shield sector of The Lookout. It is to the left of Younger Than Yesterday and to the right of Aragon. A cool sequential 5.11 move down low over the small roof gets the blood flowing. Into a technical fun slab. Shake and crank the amazing flake feature into a Boulder problem. A really beauty/heady/powerful move gains a cool fin like jug, before crimping hard to a pumpy finish. Another beauty route at the Shield sector

Test piece! Campus board training is a must.

The direct start to the original 5.13b route "Bob Loblaw". This direct start begins about 2-3 feet to the right of the original line (left of Super mega destroyer, 5.13c) and takes a much nicer and mellower start than the original.

This Tos-Classic is two left of Tetris. Climbs the beautiful Grey-Streak with alot of styles! Starts with balancey face climbing, to a very sequential, power-endurance section. Micro-shake quickly and crank another crux before gaining an actual rest. Big moves above, to another rest, then a 5.11+ Slab problem adds a great red point crux. Test for the grade for 12- climbers on fantastic stone!

This fantastic technical route is tricky enough to keep you on your toes the whole way untill the crux at the last bolt.

An interesting start gains a cool flake and a sustained middle section with very technical movement. A powerful move gains a less steep section on much easier climbing.

Offload at the midway anchor for Rozgrzewka.

A technical start to a hard to read roof encounter where you'll find the crux. Easy climbing above! Not an ideal warm up

A pretty strange route (you'll see)! Feels contrived. The only 5.10 at Atlantis wall

One of the best 13a's in the Rockies.

Was 13a by the first ascent team, but was downgraded for poor reasons...cough*

Start on Bug’s life but Veer left at the rest. Multiple powerful and pumpy 5.12 moves all the way to the anchor.

An intro, short-lived boulder-problem, gains a no hands. Pumpy climbing to a long v4 Boulder up top. Claw to the chains!

This outstanding, long pitch has multiple cruxes (5 or 6?) and a super pumpy ending with big lock offs on crimps and jugs! Start atop of a 2m high pillar. Hard for the grade= C L A S S IC

One of the best 5.11's in the Bow Valley lives here. Enjoy 6 mini 5.11 cruxes on route to the anchor with every single style of climbing. And yes the large roof is as pumpy as you imagine!

The left variation of Ffantom Love.

A very bouldery start off a undercling, gets you ready to attack the duelling sidepull rails. Compression is key! Don’t be too cocky, because up high lies a nice 12- redpoint Crux.
