2023-10-20I honestly thought it wouldnt happen this season. After two months of projecting it, falling at that last sloper for over 2 weeks, I felt so close yet so far. The winter is arriving at our doors, and the sending temps were switching for sporadic rain all across the valley. The pressure to send was present, weather kept changing from sunny to rainy, after checking the forecast for a hundred time, seem like I had a window of good weather for the day, ending up being the dryest/grippiest day its ever been for me on this rock. Made my way up there with my buddy Tristen, warmed up and rehearsed on the crux section, brushed the holds, rehearsed again,brushed again... rested 15 minutes, then gave a go, foot slipped before where I usually fall, got so mad, took an hour to rest and question my life's choices, knowing I had only a couple of burns left before the snowfall 2 days later. After an hour of rest, jump back on the climb, feeling skeptical, pumped still, but angry. Flied through the first half/crux, rested and tackled the main crux with Tim in the background saying : its gonna stick, youre sticking it, come on dude! And I finally stick the sloper and topped Naissance de la femme, my first 5.13b and second 5.13. Thanks to Tristen for the awesome belay and for coming out with me, , Irene and the doggo for the cheering and support, and Tim for being an awesome partner throughout this summer on every projects. This climb is definitely the best climb ive ever done. A la prochaine fois...! Ps : tim, its only 12c if you start on the right side , just saying. And yes ill get you your fuckin ribs conio. -

2023-09-02I enjoyed every try on this one, it was so much fun ironing out all the different nuances to make this thing feel dialled in the end! Thanks to everyone for the belays and big shoutout to Nate for spoon feeding me beta! P.S. I have never found so many different sequences through one boulder before. I think I had 5 unique methods for getting through the final boulder and just had to pick the most likely one..sick route ! -
2023-08-15Fierce. Tried this every five years or so for a day or two, finally committed to getting it done. One of the best pieces of stone and climbing in the bow valley! Send train with Rob, yeah!
