Ascensões em West Kootenays como Tick

Rock a lot grittier due to relative lack of traffic, but great line. We rappelled after P 4 as couldn't be arsed to walk down east ridge again.

Was pretty desparate coming around the roof to the drilled hold 😉. Was definitely redlining, chanced it and pulled through.

Amazing! Perhaps the most spectacular chunk of rock I have ever climbed! First pitch was amazeballs, and the mountain goats like pee. Pitch three was aided because of wet rock

Great climb! Glad I lead the easy stuff. Numb hands and feet and wet rock caused a few falls seconding. Big day but fun!

Led from lunch ledge onwards. Heavy snow season, so although it was painful seconding with 2 sets of crampons, boots and ice axes for the first 4 pitches,very happy to have them on descent. The rock was dry, the weather great, the route spectacular and the camping below the ridge in a stunning location

Tried to pull the roof direct ("10b" variation -- seems much harder than 10b, neither I nor Ellie who TRs low-11s could pull it). Otherwise, would have been clean.

little warm up, great for a new leader, well protected

Seems like a tough start for a 5.8. Neither of us could actually manage to start at all without pulling on a QuickDraw from the first bolt, which is only 6 feet off the ground so maybe that's what it's for.
