One of the best of its grade in Banff National Park. Six pitches of good climbing, four of which follow a long corner system.

Pitches 1 and 2 can be skipped by scrambling up on the left.

  1. Climb the lower corner system in interesting, knobby rock filled with pockets to a tree belay.

  2. Continue climbing to a bolted belay station.

  3. Climb to an overhang in the corner and continue up and around it on good holds to a small ledge and bolt belay on the left.

  4. A long pitch up the corner leads to a semi hanging two bolt belay on the right. The climbing is interesting and quite sustained but can be well protected with gear.

  5. Continue up the corner with gear.

  6. Climb a broken crack above and left of the block and move left back into the main corner.
