4th Pitch, Western Union, 5.8, 5 Pitches, Yamnuska, Canmore, Alberta, October 9, 2006
4th Pitch- 45m-5.8/ The most unique feature of the climb is on this pitch. You have to look real close, but there is a piton, albeit not that bomber, just over the lip of the small roof directly above you to the left. This piton and the ability to place another piece help protect the lateral move to the left required to attain this roof. This is the crux 5.8 move on this route. Continue up to a ledge below a steep wall. Traverse left, then climb up and angle back right to reach a shattered corner. Climb the corner and water worn rock and then step right onto a significant ledge that also serves as a bolted belay station for the “Unnamed” route. You should have a huge chimney on your right (where “Unnamed” goes) and a rib to your left that is bolted for a sport route (Pony Express).
