Silver Ghost, 5.10a

Silver Ghost, 5.10a

1st Pitch- 55m- 5.10a/ One can have a difficult time determining which corner to start climbing in. Both choices contain loose and dirty rock. The left option is the appropriate corner. You won’t be able to see two bolts protecting a 5.10a left traverse until you are practically right on them, so keep your eyes open out left. The traverse takes you out of the corner on textured limestone via face climbing. Angle up left as the climbing gets tougher through two more bolts and some scree ledges above. Stay right and ascend another short corner of sorts easier than 5.10. My description makes this first pitch considerably longer than the guide book version which breaks it up differently. Set up a gear belay on a ledge above the corner. Silver Ghost, 5.10a, 6 Pitches, South Ghost, Ghost Wilderness Area, Canadian Rockies, July, 2008
