Greenwood-Boles, 5.8

Greenwood-Boles, 5.8

9th Pitch- 40m- 5.8/ The last section of this pitch and the route for that matter involves the steepest climbing of the day. Follow the easy corner up and either tackle the steep, but short, 4”-6” crack above or follow the various pins up and left on suspect rock via several well protected cracks. I went up and left assuming there might be a surprise waiting for me above the wide crack (thus the numerous pins out left). But if I did it again, I would take a C4# 4 and finish in the corner/crack. Belay at the notch above. Greenwood-Boles, III, 5.8, North Face, Mount Edith, Canadian Rockies, August, 2012
