Paddle Flake, 5.10

Paddle Flake, 5.10

1st Pitch- 45m- 5.9/ Take the obvious corner up and through a small roof to a fixed belay (2009). The first 15m are below the grade, but then the crack becomes finger size and the feet positions more spread out. This is a classic 5.9 pitch that protects with a lot of wires if you want practice placing them. As you near the roof, use longer slings and protect with a larger cam towards the outside edge of the roof while making a bold move out right into an easy crack system or make a physical mantle via the roof’s crack. Paddle Flake, 5.10, 6 Pitches, Crescent Spire, Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park, August, 2009
