Super day
Beautiful route with challenging and varied climbing. On our climb, as is often the case in the rockies, we also had varied weather including warm sunshine and cold snow. Loved it!

I have done most of the moderate routes on Yam and this is one of the better ones. The sustainability of the 6th pitch is hard to find on Yamnuska compared to desert climbing for example. That pitch alone gives it a 4 star rating. The following pitch did not seem to really have 5.10a move on it, but is a heady pitch runout past a bad bolt at the end. The 8th and 9th pitches were a ton of fun, both have roofs to pass. Both easy to protect. I combined the 1st and 2nd pitch with a 70m rope which is why I took it. Plenty of fixed protection on this route, so you don't need to overdo it on the gear.
