Ascents in Valley of the Ten Peaks as Tick

Great route. Lots of variety

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.

Better than expected rock quality, didn't need to pitch out any of the route. Did one rappel off the first gendarme, and scrambled and soloed all the way to the summit.

Holy shit. Mega day - all the way to the summit, down and over Neptuak to return. Rock is ok, great in places and less so in others.

Stepped on a bolt the last pitch, all clean otherwise - next trip to Canada I’ll be back

Incredible

Super dope exposure and an absolute rockies classic. Will do again.

Lead pitches 2&4.
