So good, even after punting off the very top 3 or 4 times in 2020. Memorable send hanging the draws on a warm up in 2023.

When you think you can shake out on the crimps, don’t. Just keep climbing because that sloper is no good when you’re turbo pumped

Many styles on this one, laybacks, hand jams, knee bar, steep jug pulling to a hold on crux . Proly one of my favorite 12's in skaha

Surprise send in a rain storm with soaked finish holds. Fourth go

Terrific climb, with lots of variety. extending or skipping a bolt in the roof area helps with the rope drag, which makes the pumpy finish more manageable.

A fine line indeed! Felt a little soft for 12b, but maybe that's because of the no-hands kneebar that I got right in the steep part. Love that trad-y lower crack.
