Flesh Gordon, 5.10a

Flesh Gordon is a fantastic route on the First Cave wall at Bataan. It is a very distinctive left leaning corner feature at the far right. It is such a long route, 40m, it takes two ropes to rappel or two rappels via a single rope. You definitely cannot clean or top rope this route. You need to bring the 2nd up and then rap. It eats up 14 quick draws! Follow the corner as it starts to feel like an overhang and then overcome a small overhang to reach a slabby section to your right and continue up easier textured ground to the station above. A mid rap station is positioned via the fall line 25m down. Flesh Gordon, 5.10a, Bataan, Grotto Mountain, Canmore, AB, August, 2007
