Amazing! A day to tell my grandkids about.
P1: Committing off the ground. Good thing there's a belay anchor. Found out we had a knot in the rope too.. oops! P2: Absolutely amazing diverse climbing through different bands of rock. Feels like a geology adventure. P3: Probably the hardest move on the route is the roof. P4: Awesome arete climbing + exposure with an easy finish. Totally missed the sport route anchor at the top and awkwardly belayed from the trad anchor. |

Phenomenal day out.
Parked at Lake Morraine after getting some good parking beta from the climbing shops in Canmore. Brought the trad gear as well but didn't have enough time to do the Grand Sentinel route. Was one of 3 parties on the route that day. Took us 2 1/2 hours to approach each way, and the scree fields are crap - worst part of the climb. P2 is probably the money pitch, it's got such a wide variety of rock types that makes it incredibly interesting to climb, and also felt the most sustained for the grade. P3 and P4 had interesting moves but are basically one move wonders. Excellent views at the top on an outrageous spire. |

A classic line up a really proud feature. Got to lead the 2 upper pitches with pitch 3 being the money. Pretty crazy exposure for 5.8 pulling the roof and looking through the entire spire in the upper chimney. Stoked Bec had a great time on this line too and climbed it so well

5.10d | ★★★ Cardiac Arete | 110m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A nice climb. 3 out of the 4 pitches would be considered high quality for the grade if they were located at the back of Lake Louise so to have these stacked on top of each other on a cool spire is pretty special. Steep and juggy with a short section of thin techy stuff to keep it interesting.

What a beauty! Took ages on the approach with a little bit more snow on the trail than we bargained for. Then the clouds rolled in and we climbed 90% of the route with snow falling in our faces. A proper alpine adventure that just added to the spice and epicness of the day.
The third pitch has to have some of the most pants browning exposure I've ever experienced. The roofs above you look so evil and hard, but just trust your ability and place some good pro and you'll have the time of your life.

Showing all 55 ascents.
Approached staying high, exited down to the bottom of the valley then back up to the saddle due to rockfall.
P2 very pumpy 10c, P3 one move of hard 10c but otherwise easy. P4 is absolute money on great edges, felt like easy 10c if you can find all the holds.
