graemecalderwood: Arm wrap the flake on right. -
Connor Egan: finally. What a climb -
Wazoodles: Steep juggy/slopey crack leads to the middle of the wall. It mercifully kicks back into some 5.10 face climbing before a really sick, exposed and tricky crux pulling onto a roof from a stem corner. -
nikitataylor: Doable on trad.
-
Luke Neufeld: Rps and lots of offset nuts. few good smaller cams .75 and down too
-
JoeNikyuluw: Find the rests

Super happy to tick this Skaha classic. Taking the guidebook grade cuz I was pretty scared :) Thanks Dan for not letting me clean it after my first try.
-
Awesome climbing with non-stop selection. Lives up to it's fame. Going with the book grade -
😢
-
Absolutely mega
-
Would indeed do on gear some day… not today tho. Also my 1400th send WOOT -
Stoked for the on sight! Mega pitch with good rests. Get on it and go for the flash nothing too techy just long and pumpy and exposed!
-
This route is so mega! Got pumped out of my mind... I don't recommend doing this as your first climb. But those no hands rests definitely helped this boulderer.... Such a sick line! Definitely one of Skaha's best 11c lines?
-
Absolute monster of a route! Pumpier than expected -

Very fun, heady, marathon
-
TR’d many many years ago and maybe didn’t even get to the top? First go today. What a lovely journey, that move out of the roof was so fun! -

Fantastic long pitch of climbing -
Stellar, very intuitive, the trick is managing the pump. This sun feels amazing after freezing our asses these past days -

Mega line - so sick -
-
Surprised myself with this one. First 11c onsight. Long and fun climbing on good holds -
Retro-onsight. Tried once in 2014?
-
Got pumped -
Excellent!

wow
-
Awesome route. Stoked to send today after an epic two years ago! -
-
Unreal. Felt impossible first time up checkin out the moves. Somehow pieced it together second go on the send burn. Key for me was climbing fast and confidently in flow state. I've done easier 11c's in the bow valley.

Harder than Acid test -
Great route!
-
Was my favourite route of the day! So long and varied
-
Insanely fun route! -
-
-
So much unwarranted anxiety from the one time I tried this eons ago. Felt chill today on the retro flash. -
My favourite climb in Skaha so far!
-
-
Very fun climbing, very aesthetic -
-
Beautiful long climb. I really didn't start to love it until the top. Airy and not as hard as I expected. -
2020-04-11Super pumpy and not a good warm up for the wall. Hit the onsite but at the expense of being flash PUMPED for the rest of the day

Sent hanging the draws, annual spring attempt with no endurance. Guess the early season training paid off -
2019-10-19This rig led to the complete tear of my right labrum on a weird move due to the crazy pump. 2nd go, not sure how I still held on to finish the climb
-
-
AMAZING
-
What a FULL on route -
amazing climb; gets you just pumped enough, then you kind of recover, then an amazing, airy finish. There is always a jug somewhere...

Best single pitch of mid 11 climbing I've ever done, despite making the mistake of going to Great White in the morning on a fall day. -
tried once 3 years ago -
-
Freeman flash. One of the best routes in Skaha, without a doubt. -
Absolutely one of my favourite climbs -
Lives up to the hype - a beautiful line. Straightforward if you're familiar with it; surprisingly pumpy if you're not.
-
-
Really stoked on this! Super long and pumpy, this is really not the sort of thing I'm good at. -
-
-
Mega pumpfest that never ends
-
surprise send, was probably on route for a solid 20 min. 1.25 tries hah

OMG, so glad I jumped in line for this one! great exposure near the top as the holds get better.
