Alright as promised here is my (current) list of routes to do for 2011:
Route Crag Grade
1) The Mighty Expectation of Relief Prairie Creek 5.12a
This is a route that I should have gotten last year. As soon as it's warm enough this jug haul is going down.
2)Sisyphus Summits Ha Ling Peak 5.10d
This route a super long multi-pitch... I think it's like 500m? I've just always wanted to do it. Hopefully this summer will be the time.
3)Outer Limits Cougar Canyon 5.12a
This is a route at a crag that I have yet to get around to visiting. I was planning on checking it out last season but had other projects other places. I'll definitely make it there this summer. This is a route that looks good from what I've seen in the guide book and online. I may change my mind on it when I see it though.
4)Dutch Boy Magic Heart Creek 5.12d
This is a route that I would like to do to step up my game a little bit. I have yet to redpoint something this hard (although I was close on my trip to Red Rocks recently -see video in previous post). So, this will be one of those longer term projects I think.
5)The Convincer Heart Creek 5.12a/b
This route is in a really cool looking spot up on the amphitheatre cliff. The guide says 12a but it seems that there are some who think it may be harder (see picture in link to follow the list).
6)This Week in Bible Prophecy Prairie Creek 5.12b
The word on the street is that some holds may have broken on this route since it received its grade and it may be a little harder. A buddy of mine I has been working on it for quite some time. Looks like a good route.
7) Massive Attack Grassi Lakes 5.12c
This route looks pretty good although there are a bunch at Grassi that look good.
8) Altius Acephale 5.12c
This looks like a pretty classic route. I've never climbed at Acephale before because there isn't a lot there below 5.12 and most of my climbing buddies haven't been climbing that hard. However, I think this year is going to be a time of change and exploring. I look forward to it.
9) The Silver Rocket Prairie Creek 5.13a
I'm always trying to push myself with new goals and harder challenges and one of my goals for 2011 is to do a 13a. I think it's a realistic goal.
10) ???? ????? ????
There always has to be room to try something that looks awesome or something that someone recommends or whatever!
On another note:
I recently found this page. It's a bunch of pictures from routes in my local area. Some of the routes shown are actually on my list! This page also seems to be announcing a new guidebook for the area. I'm curious how it will compare to the current Canadian Rockies sport climbing staple - Sport Climbing in the Canadian Rockies 6th ed. Updated bt John Martin and Jon Jones.
