2022-06-18WORTH THE READ Short Story: This is not about the climb, but about the day we had. After I'd gotten my send, Spencer went on next and then Connor. Spencer was on belay, i was watching, and Connor was climbing, and at this time he was around 3rd bolt. Spencer and I were on the ground chilling and heard some light rumbling, which almost instantly turned into loud rumbling and then dirt that started to fall from above. When Spencer and I realized what was happening we both looked at each other with wide eyes and booked it for the underside of the wall. Connor realizing what was starting to happen, very quickly started yelling "take!! TAKE!!!" He then started to yell "LOWER!!" but at this point it was too late, the massive boulders and mountain debris was already falling from above, Spencer and I couldn't hear him and frankly, it likely would have been too dangerous trying to lower him as he would fall away from the wall and desperately join Spencer and I in the small underside. What was lucky for us was that we were on a section of the wall with an overhanging prow above that was used as shade. This thankfully made it so none of us were injured or hurt. As the rock and debris came down, Spencer and I were holding each other, him with one arm around me and one arm on Connor's break strand, and me with both arms around him with the death grip of the century. It was like the apocalypse, as the crag suggests, the wall of boulders and debris covered all sunlight from hitting us and covered a range of approximately 150-200m along the wall. The noise, wind, dirt, and sheer bedazzlement of what was happening was nothing but surreal. After about 15-30 seconds of falling mountain, it stopped and we were without words at what we just experienced. It was after a while of cheering, laughing, swearing, and yelling that we called 911 to inform people of what had happened and ask what to do next. We were told a heli would come scope the area and if safe, pick us up to avoid hiking down into the rockfall zone. It wasn't safe enough, as the patrol determined, so we hiked down in the rockfall zone but as far from it as we could. To keep us as safe as they could under the circumstances, they had the heli escort us down the mountain. I had been called by Alberta Parks Public Safety and was told the best route to take and that this heli would keep tabs on us as well as the rock on our descent. They said that if there was more rock that would begin falling, that they would sound an alarm or siren that would let us know to dip for cover wherever we could find it. Thankfully we made it down, all said and done with a few bumps, scrapes, and bruises but nothing of any concern. I am also thankful to the team that helped us stay safe on our descent and thankful for the homies that I shared this experience with. What. A. Day. -

2022-03-06What an incredible upper boulder, woo! My favourite route so far at Apocalypse. Felt about on par with Donny of The Day ? No idea what that means... Sent with a drop knee mantle thing near the top without using the mantle ledge to the left from Donny, added a bit of butt clenching which added to the route, I think :) . -
