Alberta Jam, 5.11c

  • Alberta Jam- 35m- 5.11c/
    • Perhaps the finest single pitch limestone crack in all of Canada. The route practically starts in the 5.9 corner and follows a finger crack as it angles up and right. Single toe balancing moves with no facial features above is the trick to catching a rest on this sustained section. As the crack straightens out above it back off to 5.10+ hands and fingers. Continue up the steep crack with several jam rests along the way to a reachy finish on top of the wall to a stance and rap rings. Same as with Dionysus, Alberta Jam tops out much less than 50m.
