Power and Grace – 5.13a


FA: Joshua L'Heureux - 2019-08-20

Description:

Gain a rest around the 3rd bolt by either climbing the face which is harder than it looks or by stemming up slab. Set yourself up for a boulder on good side-pulls with very tricky footwork. The boulder is short lived, but you're not out of trouble until the bucket rest!

Droppable until you're on the slab near the top.

    Crux was pretty tough and reachy for my height - short lived and chill otherwise. Understand now why people told me would be easier if taller. Still do-able and very fun! If you’re short female and looking for your first 13 in Skaha, I would personally try 12 step first despite this one being often a “first 13” for many super strong ladies. May have also had the beta totally wrong :)

    Super fun route. So close on the second go. Definitely droppable post-crux until fully established on the slab. I under-estimated how difficult the moderate climbing would feel at the top after climbing all the business below.
