Bucking Horse – 5.12b

Bow Valley > Acephale > Lower Wall

33m / 108ft, 13 bolts

Description:

Start left of the dirty flake. If you persist through the rotten bottom (you don’t need to write another comment on it...we KNOW!!) you’ll be rewarded with an endless stretch of great climbing above. Classic.

Hang draw send, super warm day but good wind. Holy pump on this route too. Glad to have rehearsed the top on my last session or it very well could’ve been a major punt. Rounding up to 4 stars but I did like Bucking Dogs a bit better. Also, the chain anchor is rusty and needs to be replaced, IMO.

Potentially one of the best of this grade at Lower Ace

Retro. I had previously logged as an on sight which was incorrect as I have actually tried the route some time ago though I had little memory of the experience. But it was dishonest. Thank you Kenzie for keeping me on the straight and narrow. Just add it to the growing list of acephale routes that Kenzie has succeeded to scale in fewer attempts than myself.

Great route; Nice and long with good variety, cool movement, cool holds. Sustained but with enough spots to stand on your feet and rest. Evening session warmup send with Maia.

Fantastic! Long and sustained. Stick clipping the second bolt made the bottom moves fun too.

Bottom looks chosy, but pretty solid. Then it gets really fun.

Apparently I tried it on top rope before but didn't remember that. Thought it was another. So I guess no insight but did it the first go on today thought it was an onsight. retroflash, was upset to see that I tried it when I went to update sendage because didn't remember doing it at all :( thought it was an real flash, Zach beta helped

3rd shot. Found friction in the rain today. Great slopper crux in the middle, then manage the pump to the anchors on beaut stone. “Chacun voit midi a sa porte” Thanks Tom for the psyche!

"It will blow your mind".... Oh, and listen everyone. What's all this talk about scary choss? Big bucket pockets, jugs, hand jams. Nothing loose.

Worth the cryptic choss at the beginning . Great flowy climbing above!

Three tries. Terrific sustained climbing with lots of mini cruxes but nothing that slaps you in the face. Long as heck.

Five star climbing after you wade through the low star choss at the bottom.

The start climbs really well even though it looks like a dirty old samsquamsh. The top 25m is awesome climbing on amazing rock. Highly recommend.

If it weren't for the loose and terrifying first five meters this would be classic. Maybe it is nonetheless?
