Kahl Wall, 5.10a, 9 Pitches

6th Pitch- 35m- 5.10a/ Unfortunately aid climbers have been up here and placed a few bolts and pitons that were not necessary. Still, this is one of the finer pitches on Yamnuska. Climb up bomber textured limestone to a flake, take the flake to the right and continue straight up. As of 2008 the bolts kind of show you where to go. About half way up and through the face climbing portion, you come to a rest ledge. The whole pitch is sustained for the grade. Continue up the corner above making some good gear placements, but also coming across several pitons and more bolts. Eventually the corner closes regarding pro. You can stay in the corner at a slightly higher grade (what I did) or you can swing out right onto the textured face and climb up to two fixed pieces. Make sure to long sling here before you traverse back left under the roof and make a fun move or two (protected by .75”) to overcome the roof and up to a bolted belay ledge on your left.
