Routes in Canmore for selected grade

Stick clip the 1st bolt. Excellent movement in the blue rock with a great heel hook crux going over the lip. 11c/d

Neoconstructionist for a few bolts, two bolts for the traverse right, then finish on upper section of Where's Mom?

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)

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.

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

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.

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!

Steep climbing on jugs leads to sustained moves on positive edges. Absolute classic

From the Heavy Breathing hueco, climb rightward into a small, right facing corner. Finish with some classic Velcro climbing. A fantastic route!

Steep climbing on huge buckets over the big bulge with a few big moves. Sustained pumpy climbing to the anchors! Total endurance

Navigate through vicious crimps en route to an anchor over the ledge on the slab.

A technical test piece. One of the best of the grades in the valley. Figure out the puzzle! Stacked weird rockovers and a gnarly topout keeps you working from the moment you pull on till the moment you sigh with relief at the chains.

Just left of the arete, it starts on a left hand crimp rail moving to a left hand undercling. The climb then goes up the face using a left hand crimp and terrible side pulls.

Originally graded as a V2, this one starts under the overhanging corner at basically a lay down start. Both hands start on the undercling.

Starts 40m right of the Homer-Wood route at the base of 2 left leaning cracks. This route was established on-sight, ground up and hammerless in a 36hr push car to car. Pretty impeccable style considering the compact nature of the rock in this area.

P1 - Move into a left facing corner to a loose-looking overhang. Pull through on the left and traverse left on good holds to a crack. (40m, 5.10dR)

P2 - Follow the crack (50m, 5.10a).

P3 - Follow the crack (20m, 5.9).

P4 - Continue up the crack past 2 small overhangs. (45m, 5.10c).

P5 - Continue up the crack. (60m, 5.8).

P6 - Step left to a flake then follow back right to the same crack system and continue up. (50m, 5.9).

P7 - Continue up the crack. (60m, 5.9).

P8 - Step up and right to a left facing corner and follow this up to belay below a roof. (45m, 5.10a).

P9 - Continue up and left to a shallow right facing corner then shallow left facing corner to belay on a ledge on the left below a steep corner with blocks. (60m, 5.10a).

P10 - Step right to a right facing corner which you climb until it starts to trend further right. Here step left to a left facing corner following it up to a ledge which intersects with the Homer-Wood route. (55m, 5.10a).

P11 - Climb the crack to a roof, step right then continue up the crack to easier ground. (50m, 5.10a).

Follow lots of 4th class scrambling until you intersect with the ridge and then several more rope lengths of low 5th class to the summit.

Rock is reported to be good though compact with a selection of pitons required for both runners and belays. Approach as for Candle in the Wind hiking along the NE face until 30-40m right of the prominent wet streak.

Gear - full rack to 3 inches including micro cams. 6 pitons, mostly knifeblades and 60m ropes. The first 6 pitches are set up for rappel.

P1 - Climb a left facing corner before heading left to under a roof then right to a small ledge at a left facing corner. (55m 5.6).

P2 - Climb a series of small corners and belay on a ledge at the base of a right facing corner (50m, 5.10-).

P3 - Climb the corner to reach a curving crack out right before heading back left to belay at the base of a scree gully (55m 5.9).

P4 - Move the belay 10m higher then climb a series of right facing corners and a small chimney to a belay (55m 5.7).

P5 - Climb another short chimney and then a large pinnacle. Head right along a ledge to the base of a left facing corner and belay bolt. (50m, 5.6).

P6 - Climb to the left of the corner and belay on a small ledge. (30m 5.10+).

P7 - Work up and left to a 2 bolt belay below a small roof. (20m, 5.10-).

P8 - Climb a short steep slab past 3 bolts before continuing up long angle slabs to a belay. (55m 5.11).

P9 - Climb a right trending slot to a large ledge before continuing up corners to a second ledge. (60m 5.7).

P10 - Head up short corners and slot to reach 3rd class terrain which leads to the summit. (25m 5.10-).

There are bolts on harder sections.
