Dickel, 5.8

2nd Pitch- 45m- 5.8/ This pitch is considered one of the better pitches for the grade at Yamnuska. Although I did enjoy it, I did not necessarily think it ranked that high on the list. Traverse way out right past a piton to the base of prominent open book corner. The route FA’s ended the pitch here and restarted up the book. But that puts a huge factor fall on the belay. It is best to protect with a double length runner up the book a ways and deal with the rope drag. Take the corner, easily protecting in the crack. Pull a small roof at the end and belay (gear) atop a pillar of sorts to the right. Dickel, 5.8, 3 Pitches, East End, Yamnuska (Yam), Canmore, Alberta, 2008
