Wow, I have definitely been slipping when it comes to updating this blog. I've also been getting lazy when it comes to taking videos and pictures. I guess I've just been busy. Got a new job a little while ago. Also, that time off with my shoulder injury kind of made me forget about my drive for updating my blog etc.
Anyway, I've been trying to get outside and climb more! Yesterday, my friend Claire and I were going to go out to Lake Louise to climb. We soon discovered that the further we drove west the worse the weather got. We ended up turning around and checking out a place that neither of us had been to before. We went and checked out Cougar Canyon. I thought it was quite a pleasant place! There are some fun routes and a good variety of climbs. Comparing the Crowbar Crag to Poolside or Cosmology.... it's hard to believe they were all at the same "crag". The weather was good, the routes were fun. I really enjoyed it.
I climbed a few routes - my favourites being at Cosmology crag. I onsighted Redshift 5.10b - a really cool long route with multiple cruxes that I highly recommend. I was also able to onsight Outer Limits 5.12a. That was a prett sweet onsight. I was extremely happy to top that one out first try. There were a couple of dicey spots but it all came together! The route has fairly descent handholds but the feet aren't always the best.
I wish I had pictures or video but alas - I don't.
Till next time.
