Crack of the Lake

Listed in the Banff Rock book as the abandoned handcrack project to the right of Nautilus. Name is just a placeholder until further information - given the location, visibility, and quality, it would be unlikely to not have seen a free ascent until 2022. Tricky face climbing off the deck to a couple of roof pulls, and then fingers-to-fists crack climbing. Wall is actually a little slabby. Three nice stainless belay stations are installed along the route. A single modern bolt protects the opening moves and a number of old pitons are still intact. Can be climbed in a single 70m pitch, which is probably ideal because stopping to belay at the first station will be uncomfortable and your rope will run around a sharp edge.
