I’ll climb this every Carrot session. Fun stuff. -
Definitely not 12.a like the guide book says. Still fun!
-
Finally got a chance to try this. Fun little arete. Not a gimme on the 1st go.
-
Steeper than it looks -

The flowers at the top out are pretty

Bouldering on the Arete! Short but fun! -
-
Beached whale top out was totally unnecessary but happened nonetheless. Great climb! -
Soft, but super fun -

Am I allowed to claim this as my first 12a? Lol regardless of grade fantastic route!
-
There are officially NO crummy routes in Carrot Creek. That I presume is precisely why the old guard was back in this canyon in the late 80`s wielding their craft creating classic route which are still to this day truly mega. -

I tried to onsight this a year ago and didn't. Got it first go today. Gotta respect the climb.
-
Second go -
-
Fun but short -
Wish it was longer. Botched it at the top. 2nd go
-
Short and sweet, 3rd go
-
2 bolts of really fun arete climbing on good holds. I don't think it even holds the 11d grade. -
2017-06-21yeah, probably not 12a as in the book. -
Great route. Guide book sais 5.12a.
-
-
2016-08-13Super fun but definitely soft for the grade.
-
Really neat sequence a little beached whale action at the top. 4th go. -
Fun climbing! I felt the hardest part was topping out after the arete. -
Another fun climb at Carrot Creek. Soft for the grade but still worth climbing
-
11C max. Compare this to Lake Louise or Echo Canyon and it could even be hard 11B
-
Good climbing but felt like 11c at best. -
-
Really fun climb! Short and sweet with nice positive holds

2nd go. First in-a-day send of a 12! Wahoo! However, this felt a lot easier than all the other 12s I've climbed on and I have a feeling it will eventually be downgraded.
-
2015-05-312nd go!
-
One move wonder, short and sweet. 2nd go, burl mode activate!
-
2015-05-29Tried it last summer when i wasn't climbing much. A lot easier now and doesn't feel like 12a -
