Back Hand of God – 5.12a


18m / 59ft, 9 bolts

Description:

*TOP 100* The streaked wall has excellent climbing, some of the best at the grade in Skaha. A tricky start leads to a marginal rest on a slopey rail before the crimpy business at the top. This pitch seeps in the winter. It may be gritty in the early spring, but cleans up quickly. Back Hand of God is an award-winning stout made by Crannog Ales and left Fields in Sorrento, BC. 9 bolts (18m) FA: Rob Birtles, 2014.

    Hung draws in the eve, came back 6am start to fire it before the ferry to the island. Almost a send train with faelen but he decided he’d throw to a slipper at the chains instead of the jug, oh well. Wouldn’t change a thing on this route. Such awesome movement, flow, and holds. Locker fist jam is just a giddy way to rest before the last boulder to the chains.
