Wicked Gravity – 5.11a
25m / 82ft, 8 bolts
Description:
One of Alberta’s most climbed routes, and for good reason! An easy to read start leads to a few tricky moves below a roof. Rest up in the roof and pull on some great holds before traversing rails of pumpy, beautiful quartzite holds.

Back @ the back of the lake with Doc D but we were all 170 in the Tessy all the way from Sammy and swerving and rapping: 'AND DOC D SAID NOTHING YOU IDIOT DOC D'S DEAD HE'S LOCKED IN MY BASEMENT' and lake louise is where it all began for me and it shall continue to the 5th dimension! We just gettin' started 💞 -
Wicked awesome climb only took me a year to send -
Beautiful climb…almost as good as the view!!!
-
Classic route, a must do if in the area.
-
-
Finally get it done! The best 11a I’ve tried!
-
-
Annual tradition of starting the Louise season with a WG lap. pretty pumpy if you avoid all the X'ed flake holds. -

Man, what a wonderful line. -
Well, literally had to become a 12 climber to finally send this endurance test piece. Definitely one of the harder 11a’s around. -
Super fun climb. Was anticipating lots of polish but actually climbs quite nicely, with the slipperiest moves at the beginning establishing on the wall.

Pumpy! -
-
Incredible!!! -
If you think you’re off route, you’re not. -
-
WOW! Did this as my intro to Louise and instantly fell in love! -
-
Lived up to its reputation. -
One of the first climbs outside for me. Tried it in 2020 a couple of times. Had my first "big" whip trying to clip. Couldn't crimp up to the anchor so always traversed left and up. Went back the following season sent first go, climbed straight up the crimps to the anchor. A happy tick to say the least. -
Gorgeous rock, an incredible line, in a perfect setting. Lives up to the hype! Unreal -

Big edges and lay-back flakes lead to a crimpy crux at the chains.
-
-
2nd 11a. Classic! -
Super classic line. -
TR'd this classic back in my more timid days, so today I wanted to see how it felt many years later. I just love BOTL climbing! -
as a part of 12hours of Lake Louise Classics with Adam. OS back in ages -

Just an incredibly good climb. Great variety, great flow, a solid pump. Best 11a sport route in Canada?

Five fricken stars! One of the most amazing, varied, fun, flowy climbs fricken ever!!! -
psyched to grab the onsight of this route that I've stared at longingly a couple of times on weekends past. Classic for a reason.
-
heck ya, so fun
-
Best warmup at Louise!! Crimps at the top always feel harder than they should. -
-
Easy climbing to a thinner crux. Good climbing! -

First 5.11 ever.
-
Great line... amazing views. The climbing was fairly straightforward for the grade with pretty big holds from start to finish. The steepness of the line will build a solid pump though and make you earn the send. Definitely worthy of its classic status.

Warmed up on this route, then got owned on two other 11b's. First time climbing routes in a long time and after a month of sitting on the couch. I'm hoping the endurance improves!
