Ascensioni in North America da topher

Not that great. Very nice setting, but the climbing isn't amazing considering the other quality routes that grade in the general area, and some sections of bolting are just plain weird.

Second shot. Slipped off first time going past last bolt. Pretty intimidating bolt spacing!

Went the wrong way at the crux and fell. Solid moves, but keep left on the small holds instead of trying for the layaway flake up right too early.

Enjoyable, just a pity it's so short. Been so long since I climbed on limestone...

Not exactly sure why, but I didn't find this one all that much fun.

Thin moves at the top, and spent most of the time trying to find the holds. Just as well it isn't too steep!

Short, but fun and definitely a little less obvious than Mountain Aven

Could be better than we thought, as 50% of the holds were wet. A lot or the rock is partially rotted. Quite a different start, followed by lots of pumpy sidepulls

A bit hard to stay off the arete until the point it actually crosses. The rock on the upper half is really cool.

Would rate a 'good' if it was 3x longer and not bolted.

Contrived and shitty, but the only other thing that was remotely dry.

Great and well protected early lead for aspiring slab climbers

Really fun, and relaxing slabbing. Belongs near the top of the Apron.

Really fun climbing. Fairly sustained lower half, but with a very obvious crux section. Upper part mostly 10a-ish, but super fun. Turkey vultures cruising around waiting for something to happen.

Screwed up feet just after the crux and popped off.

Awesome little line. A real pity it got bolted, but I admit to using the bolts... Pumped out just after clipping the last bolt - 1 move before the jug...Next time!

Thin and tenuous, but not too painful on the tips.

Actually felt like climbing.

Really good climbing, going over the classic Skaha polished bulge at the top.

Jumped on this to say we actually climbed something. Really contrived, but still fun.

Final pitch only as part of Stairway to Heaven. A little dirty, and soaked on R side, but didn't touch anything wet until the top. A little chossy.

Did as one pitch. Awesome feature, well named!

P1 only. Good lead by Alice. But it's still not a xenolith!

p2 (10a) only, accessed by traversing from Xenolith Dance anchors.

Beware. The massive jug on the right after the roof is flexing, and will break off soon.

Was meant to do Ladies First, but it was getting dark and completely missed the bolts. Progressively harder right to the top.

Screwed up my sequence to accidentally find a better one. Will try to remember it for next time...

Was feeling a lot harder than it looked until I found some jams. Would improve if it was a bit cleaner.

Rope solo. Short crux section. First half of the crux was hard, the second half was dripping. Should be hard but doable when dry.

Took a couple of goes to figure out the crux, but got it! Nails move into the crack above the horizontals

Did this to start and finish. Much easier at the start of the day! Knowing the holds and sequence helps a lot on this steep rock

Three shots, probably all too close together. Cool move past the first bolt, and then took a while to figure out the crux section with the tick marks and chalk everywhere. Figured out the feet on the second shot, then just got too pumped for the crux on the third shot. Loving this crag, is a great workout.

Getting a little tired...Hard start, maybe missed something on the way to the start of the flake. Easy up flake and corner, then cruxy move out right. Move right foot up for move.

Great climb, good value for the grade.

Fun and steep, just a pity the top was so filthy

Was having troubles with getting the pro-traxion running smoothly while keeping the rope out of the water. Might have been more fun if things were running smoothly.

Fun, juggy gym climbing. Pity it's so short.

Good fun. Steep jugs with a single V3 move at the 3rd bolt. Would deserve a star or two if it was a bit longer.

Unbelievably didn't screw it up, despite my best efforts. Crux is around bolts 3-4, with top section pretty simple.

Pulled it out of my arse. Will be fun to lead this once it's dry.

A few fun moves in the top half

Getting around the overhang is fun, otherwise quite cruisey

Some slopey holds mixed in with nasty crimps...Felt quite similar to Hillwood.
