Kurihara, 5.10d

7th Pitch- 45m- 5.10c/ If you notice, this route goes 5.10a, 5.10b, 5.10c and 5.10d through this main section of the wall and my partner and I, who switched leads on these four pitches, would both say these 5.10 pitches were plenty stout for the grade, particularly due to the rock quality. I pulled on more than one under cling that pulled out. This pitch starts off hard from the deck, providing yet again another ankle busting opportunity whilst reaching for the second clip. 5.10c slab moves get you through the beginning. After several clips you make an exposed traverse right and up to a fixed belay below a roof. Kurihara, 5.10d, 10 Pithces, Canmore Wall, Canmore, Alberta, July, 2012
