Wasootch Slab, B
Lived here 5 years before we visited Wasootch Slab for the first time. Stacy and I found that this slab is much warmer than our local Canmore crags, Cougar, Grassi, Grotto, Heart, etc. It has always had a reputation as a crowded top roped area used by recreational climbers from Calgary. We had it virtually to ourselves mid-week in October on more than one occassion and found tons of lead routes. B Slab is pretty popular, if you can climb higher grade, I advise you to go further up creek. There is a good selection of 5.9-5.10 section just right of Second Corner. These routes don't appear to be overly polished yet, but are getting that way. Cheers.
