My Mother Loves Me – 5.11b
30m / 98ft, 14 bolts
Description:
The original line and well-worth doing. Near the top, the gap behind the archway gives pause for thought. Guy Edwards was a notable climber from Vancouver who perished in a mountaineering accident on the notorious Devils Thumb near the Alaska-BC border in 2003. Guy was an active Skaha developer during the early 1990's. 12 bolts ( 27m) FA: Guy Edwards, 1992.

Ruined my arms. Hardest 11b I’ve climbed by a long shot -
Bailed on this route many times before so feels real good to put this down finally. This ACTUALLY might be the hardest 11b lol. Fun regardless! -

This wall is hard during heat wave

Tried this in the spring with frozen fingers. Great warm up today for the more pumpy climbing to the right. -
Great slopey climb unlike many of the routes at Skaha
-
-
Brutal in the sun. Everything you could possibly hold onto is chalked so not an easy one to read.

Fun, but kinda tricky. -

2021-10-12Hung draws first go. Kinda spooky hanging the draws.. some little runny bits and the crux draw was spooky to get hung. Sent 2nd go. -

Prefer Bella as a warm up -

Clearly I’ve not mastered the art of resting but somehow I just managed to stay on. Good jugs but wow this felt really long -
Tricky but awesome -

The day after Mother’s Day. This felt like a battle, hardest 11.b I’ve been on in recent memory -

The crux comes out of nowhere is not very forgiving. The rest of the climb is relatively chill with lots of good rests
-
2021-04-19Enjoyed the blocky sequence in the beginning, it's harder than it looks

I liked it. Had to do some serious try hard to get the on-sight. Missed a good hold near the top, bare legged knee bar, desperation moves, barely made it. It made for a memorable climb.
-
Mega good. 2017 bailed on it, 2019 fell at the last bolt. Got it today 2nd go after flash pumping on it as a warm up. Sustained -
Tried it years ago, unique and pumpy. -

Felt like a long and awkward volume problem on a rope -

A quality line, more pumped than anticipated. -

Fun climbing on many different kinds of holds. Pumpy -

Amnesia flash, was my first ever 11 lead attempt a few years back. -

Interesting holds compared to the rest of Skaha
-
On mother's day :)

I'm not sure this constitutes as a warm up

Onsight in all but name. Bailed off the fourth bolt 1.5 years ago and now sent while putting the draws up. -

Great climb!
-
Lower half had worse holds than it apeared from below. Enjoyed the upper half more. Good warm up! -

Certainly not a straight forward rock climb. I utterly got destroyed. -
Pumpy! so many flat holds -
2014-09-28Was on the wall for way too long! Good warmup if you don't dilly dally!

Much continuous. So holds. Much Flat. Wow. Weird? -
