Routes in Alberta for selected grade

Sit start left on the left side of the roof matched on a sidepull. Make your way right under the roof. After getting up on the face to the right of the roof, go directly up using the arete.

A v5 boulder problem over the roof.

A classic lip traverse left to right.

Obscure alt start to Trout Fishing

The crag classic for the grade.

V4 depending on your height -Slag Heap Warrior, Boulder, 6B+ (V4) Sit-start on low jugs/ledges. Make a long pull up to the V-notch jug. From here, make a long move left to a good pinch. Finish straight up on good holds. Wingspan may dictate the grade on this one.

One of the best at Big Choss! Sit-start on the obvious jug-ledge in the pit to the right of the base of the arete. Make a couple of moves straight up on jugs, then head left and get your pinches, heels, and compression working. Cruxy topout. This problem lends itself well to a progression of alternate starts and eliminates up to around V8.

Broken left side pull? Hard to tell might go way harder then v5 now

Climb Hickory Dickory Dock to bolt four on the rest and trend left. Difficult climbing leads to a boulder problem below the anchor.

A hardish boulder problem leads to a very fun airy easy finish.

Start on Hypochondriac. After moving past the 4th bolt above the ledge climb up the corners left side to the overhanging wall above.

Climb between two prominent holes to a crux just before the third bolt. Traverse right on good holds to a couple of hard moves below the anchor.

Start to the left of a yellow corner capped by a roof. From the ledge, pull the roof and head left into a scoop. Continue left to a finish on Jingus Americanus.

This classic has continuously powerful all the way to the bathtub rail. Finish up a small corner

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.

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

Steep line up the right hand side of the cave.

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!

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

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.

After a thin, reachy, powerful and technical crux down Low, enjoy really fun and pumpy climbing on mainly jugs.

The route that started it all.

Bow Valley Sport guide shows an anchor lower on this line, Runaway Lane 11d. It has been removed.

The extension to monkey business. Looks worth doing!!

Start on Above The Clouds but follow the corner up a yellow streak of stunning stone, which progressively gets harder up high with the final sting in the tail the boulder problem around the anchor! Mega Classic.

Traverse the lip with a hard boulder problem on fingery holds. The steep redpoint Crux gains a pretty wild position!

From the third bolt of Warmed By The Devils Fire move left to a smooth technical face.

This short bouldery route climbs straight out of the middle of the steep overhang. Pull carefully last a choss band at 3/4’s height.

Start on Farewell to Arms (11a). At the 3rd bolt, leave the comfort of the crack system and go strait up for some face climbing on impeccable grey stone. Inspired by a recent trip to Smith Rock, and in sticking with the old school nature of the routes on Hemingway Wall, this climb features only 2 bolts on the ~25' face. The falls are totally safe, but you will need calm nerves, delicate touch, and old fashion try hard for a successful tick. "Courage is Grace Under Pressure" - Ernest Hemingway.
