Second Corner

Second Corner-5.7, B Slab, Wasootch Slabs, Kananaskis Country, Canadian Rockies. This is the route that divides B Slab in two and gets a lot of attention. So much so, that it has become quite polished. I watched a pretty good climber fall on it repeatedly. I can’t say I had the same difficulty however, it is still a 5.7. It protects well with multiple cams and/or nuts. Of course it is less polished the further up you go. The hands get a little thin for a 5.7 towards the top and makes beginners think about their legs more which makes it a good teaching route. The rap station is off to the right as you near the top of the corner. This is a full length corner, but you will move to the outside edge a time or two during the 2nd half.
