Yellowknife

A long fairly sustained crimpy route lacking a real crux move, more endurance based. Mostly technical foot work intensive climbing with a few nice rests hear and there.... Being less than vertical and 100 feet long its not your usual Rumney 5.10

The first few moves are typically wet and mossy.Follow slippery cracks and face holds and eventually gain a tricky corner which I found to be the crux. Stemming and crimping your way through this will get you to a small ledge. More crimping and some interesting moves past a loose flake (be careful) gain another nice ledge and the final slab. The upper slab was my favorite part of this one. It climbed more like a Cathedral Ledge 5.10 than a Rumney one and I thought it provided nice variety.

There are two distinct sections at Yellowknife Buttress: the front (steep) side and the gully routes on the right (less steep). This is the first of the gully routes as you head right around the corner from the steep side. Look for the wetness and or a dead tree that you may or may not decide to grab if it's wet.

15 bolts to anchor. 60 meter rope needed.
