Dark Roast – 5.13b ^↑

Canada > Alberta > Kananaskis > Moose Mountain > Black Flag

25m / 82ft, 11 bolts

Description:

Start up sustained jugs and crimps to a flat block shake. Crux involves a left-hand cross to a crimp and a big bump right to a good flat jug. Use good pump management for the vertical/techy climbing finishing with an awesome traverse guarding the anchors.

Pretty happy this route was able to help me suss out the 5 stages of sending a proj. 1. Overestimation of the grade. 2. Underestimation of the grade. 3. Overestimation of the grade. 4. Extreme rage, self-hatred, and despair. 5. Equanimity. However, I am a little sad to see everyone here calling this rig 13b. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another amazing route by Ross. Harder crux moves than illumination. High quality crimping on perfect black rock.
