Takakkaw Falls Route

8th and 9th Pitches- 55m- 5.6/ I combined these two pitches, no worries. The best pitch of the route. Climb fun ground straight up, slightly angling left on the 5.6 portion past three bolts. You won’t be able to communicate with your belayer beyond this point due to the thundering noise from the falls. As the waterfall rumbles past you on the right, continue up to a ledge and past the 8th pitch belay on easy, but loose and unprotected, shale to the 9th pitch belay on the next ledge up. Takakkaw Falls Route, 5.6, 12 Pitches, Yoho National Park, Canadian Rockies, August, 2007
