The Raven and the Bear – 5.10a
30m / 98ft, 11 bolts
Description:
Start to the right of the big Rock grotto and scramble up an obvious slab. 3 clips on a 5.4 slab moving up and left. Next is an an awesome series of big holds and fun moves in corners to the top. Anchor is 7 or 8 meters to the left of the first bolt making cleaning the route interesting. Yo yo it. The rap down from the anchor is free for most of it.

harrisonwhite: Clean this route on toprope to prevent the megaswing -
jordanchow: She goes with a chopped 60m. No spice required, just walk down the slab on the lower so you don't go down the hill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
Gnome: The route is really diagonal with a huge drop below the belay station, which makes lowering very difficult. Use a 70 m rope, and have the leader top belay the second. Then, both people rap down. When belaying, it's useful to have someone or something help weigh down the be layer, so as to prevent them from hitting the wall when the leader falls.

Idk, I’m not in love with climbing on big loose looking blocks. I do like the exposure of the climb

Feels like an alpine climb. Unique for skaha. -

Very, very good. Anchor the belay to the tree if cleaning on the lower to avoid catastrophe...
-

Hands down the most fun I've ever had climbing. My favourite route ever climbed. I was laughing the whole way up and did it again as soon as I was on back on the ground. Varied, exposed, well protected, and a great view from the anchors. Just so much fun.
