Spent the last couple of warm and sunny days climbing on one of my favorite peaks - Mt. Yamnuska. Also know as Mt. Laurie, the south face offers hundreds of rock climbs of varying difficulty, length, and quality....quality of rock that is. Some routes offer steep climbing on clean rock, and some need delicate climbing skills and a cool head to overcome poor rock and poor protection.
On Thurs we climbed "The Bowl" a 10c trad route located in the bowl area, and Friday we climbed "Jimmy and the Cruisers" an 11a trad route located in the same area.
We descended both routes by rapelling a modern bolted line called "Grey Scale", also located in the bowl area. I only use this option if there are no parties climbing below.
