30m / 98ft, 14 bolts
FA: Samuel Martin - 2020-05-27

Description:

Starts on Dissidence. At the ledge, clip the chain draw straight above. Ginger Goodwin was a Cumberland coal miner and labour activist who led the push for better working conditions and increased pay. He was also a principled opponent to the military draft, and was eventually killed by the Dominion Police (predecessor to the RCMP) during a draft roundup. His death inspired the first ever general strike across Canada.

    Classic Horne Lake above Dissidence: tufas, slopers, knee bars. Doesn’t get much better than this. But the 25 min approach sucks so don’t bother coming out…😉

    The crag classic. Varied and interesting moves up the tufa system. Should have sent a few sessions ago when I blew it right at the anchor. Frustratingly, I seemed to lose the ability to do Dissidence clean after that. But I knew I would succeed today after meeting with the crag's resident toad... All on it's own, the GG pitch could be 12+, but the fact that you have to do Dissidence every time adds a significant barrier if you are as low percentage on that one as I am.

    Great line. After a tough 12b start you get into more horne lake style of climbing. Pysched for that extension.

    2nd ascent. Dissidence is the real crux, just victory climbing from the ledge to the anchors... But really, this climbs excellently, a pump fest 13 and the extension will be mega. Even with the softy beta ;)

    Really stoked on this, it climbs quite nicely. The only problem is that it doesn't finish at the top of the wall. I nearly fell clipping the chains, and fell off the last move of the final boulder problem on the attempt before. Time to take it to the top of the wall!
