#2 of the day. Frozen toes couldn't hold me back from trying this - since Jamie was so kind to rope solo it and leave the rope up, it gave me a chance to TR and clean it. Good route, will have to take a closer look at it when I'm not freezing my toes and hands off.

5.7 | ★★ Bienvenue Au Poulettier - with Lynette Reid, Karla K, Leigh M, Megan D | 13m, 2 | Sorrow's End | Mon 19th Oct 2020 | |||||
#3. Fun route, decently protectable as a mock lead on TR, once you're two bolts in and have to start plugging cams. Tried a few things before I could protect the first horizontal crack -- an early cam placement attempt popped out and smacked me in the face when I yanked on it.
Didn't love that cam, but left it in until I got one tier higher, placed a better cam, then removed the lower one. Moral here is: get ready to be runout, but the climbing is easy. Could lead this next time around. |

#6: last route of the day.
Good for your first ever trad lead, since the climbing is uninteresting, so there's not much thinking required. Hands are good and the protection is decent (once you scrub out the dirty cracks) and you can faff about picking nuts and cams while standing on decent ledges. So it's low stress, but there's no real wow factor. |

5.7 5.7 G | ★★★ While You Were Sexting - with Karla K | 14m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Oct 2020 | ||||
#1 of the day, and my second ever trad lead. Dumped like 4-5 cams and a single nut in there, then got a bit runout at the top. GREAT belay ledge for bringing up a second and then rapping back down. Karla's first trad clean in a while - got out the token nut w/o a tool.

#2. Hadn't planned to climb trad today, but low on options, figured this was worth a shot. Wasted a lot of energy at the start placing gear too high above my head instead of just climbing higher; also terrible gear management resulted in wasted effort. But a fun climb nonetheless.

5.8 | ★★ Knowledge Enema - with Karla K, John MacK | 13m | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★★ Classic | Wed 26th May 2021 | ||||
#4. Some pants-moistening moments involving a popped nut (Karla was belaying from too far back from the wall, girth hitched to a tree, and yanked down on the rope to tighten me up (by request) which popped a mini nut out. Luckily I was 2 or three cams above so it didn't matter. Later after a big run out section put a BD #.5 purple cam in a deep crack in the left side of the corner, which walked out of place and deeper into the crack. No danger of coming out -- in fact it took Karla 2 attempts to remove it (including nut tool gymnastics) and me finally going in w/ 2 hands to get it out. Also tied a sling around the tree at the top on the left wall because was feeling skeeved about the distance since my last cam, but ultimately the traverse over to the rings at Cocksure was easy peasy, and didn't need that extra pro. Still, safety third, right?
Karla had no problems with this one; John got stuck at a tricky layback stem move. Medium cams, some nuts. |

Gotta say that this route is incredibly dirty and filled with vegetation for the top third. We made the mistake of climbing with packs on - I couldn’t fit through the chimneys! I wound up hanging my pack on a piece of pro, setting a belay just above it, and then rapping down to retrieve it. Not the adventure we were looking for, but you sometimes have to take what you get!

#1/2. Will led and found all the gear placesments, then to our surprise and delight, discovered there are new anchor bolts and quicklink rap rings after the initial 25m or so, saving us from the rambing ramp up to the lookout for a gear anchor or to walk over to the rings over White Rabbit. So... he clipped that, I went up and cleaned and rapped.

#1 of the day. Very fun route. Downclimbed a bit near the start to remove a draw to eliminate some drag; skipped some draws to help with drag too, but it's probably hopeless. Can't fight the drag. Next time would use fewer draws entirely as it's a pretty safe (if runout) route that way. It's also been suggested to do it in 2 pitches, perhaps using the rings above Tradasaurus as a belay ledge.
Guidebook recommended rapping back down on Phat Tuesday rap rings, but we overshot that and ended up rapping off one of the Industrial Area routes - possibly Memories. It was dirty, slabby, icy, and only looked fun at the top over the roof, so... pulled the rope instead of making a TR boondoggle of it. |
|||||||||
5.9 | ★★ Flake'n - with Joshua Matsell Sullivan, Nick Boldt | 55m, 15 | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★★ Very Good | Mon 11th Oct 2021 | ||||
Did the route in 2 pitches to minimize the rope drag. There is a fantastic ledge at roughly the halfway mark where we set a trad gear anchor (thank you Nick for the good beta about the 2-pitch option), Josh seconded, and Nick came last. Even with the 2 pitches there is quite a bit of drag.
Great route, only reason for 2 stars is the rope drag, otherwise a solid 3-star. |

#2. I'm calling this an onsight... even though I was 1 move from the anchor and was feeling rushed for time, so rather than flailing and maybe falling, I decided to just grab the quad that previous climbers had left and pulled up on that.
Next time might skip the stick clip and will also sort the ending slab-arrete madness all the way to the top. Route climbs like a 5.8-5.9 until the upper third, when it definitely goes 5.10. |

5.9 Hard | ★ Sleeper Cell - with Will S | 20m, 8 | Musquodoboit Valley Area | ★ Good | Sat 19th Nov 2022 | ||||
#1. Will lead. Rough for a warmup with cold fingers, first sub-5-degrees-C climb of the season. Decent once past the 2nd or 3rd bolt.
NOTE: there are rings at the top of this just below a big block, with a single bolt to the left. You can rap to the ground from the rings on a 40m rope. For top belay, a more comfortable ledge is one bolt and a 4th class scramble above and to the left, where Deep Throat starts, which is a great 2nd pitch / continuation (and more fun than the second pitch of Sleeper, especially since you don't need trad gear). |

#3. Stick clipped the start because hey, why not?
Interesting couple of moves, then you're 3 clips in and it's a walk up / scramble. Almost missed the 4th bolt next to some bushes but clipped it cuz it was there, not because the difficulty merited it. Never found the 5th bolt. Guidebook calls it a 5.10a but there's nothing really to it once you get the first couple moves done. If I did it again I'd likely link it with Safety -- little value in the belay anchor at the midpoint. |
