Ascents in Ontario

#3/4. Cooldown after the 5.9. Easy as, with Danielle's rope already on the anchor.

#1/4. Sean led, with some trepidation because it was his first lead of the season and there's a missing bolt hanger for the 3rd bolt. WHY? Anyway, not a bad route once you figure out the bottom half.

#4/4 for the day. Took small cams and nuts. Placed a red cam, then a nut, which blew when I asked Sean to take on it, breaking the rock. Climbed to the next ledge and placed another cam, then a nut, then finally a cam near the top. Honestly, this could be climbed as a free solo - it's a super easy climb (except that it's dirty AF and therefore not super safe).

Sean's first rap of the season, my first time leading trad in over a year (and having to set up a top belay off a tree, too). Definitely shook out some cobwebs.

#2/4. Great route, rested several times at each bolt.

Excellent, long route. Take the time to find the best clip stances through the crux.

Blew the flash, but got it on the next go. Awesome route! Hacked the crux with a modern compy move - turns out you can do that stuff outside!

Another fun route. Continued to the top of Skywalker Saga.

Super fun route on good holds. We climbed it as two pitches for practice.

Did the V5 variant.

Pro looked good and the climb was outstanding.

Started on the right as for True Drew

First climb in Canada

std rack to #2 plus a #4 or #5 to protect the wide crack itself. sling a chockstone. pink tricam useful at the top of the slab.

finally, geez
