Ginger Goodwin – 5.13a ↓
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.

2024-07-29After spending 2 months on feed your monkey which is arguably the same style, there is no way that this climb is the same grade, having done it in 5 goes. I also sent it again with no knee pads later in the session to go try the extension and it still felt easier than 13a. Great climb, fun, powerful moves either way. P.S. it was definitely the peach. -
2023-06-23Classic 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…😉

2021-09-11The 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.

2021-04-22Great line. After a tough 12b start you get into more horne lake style of climbing. Pysched for that extension. -
2020-06-042nd 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 ;)
