After a few tours for turns turned bad in March, I gave up on
snow and went for rock. On March
27 it was 21 degrees in the Bow Valley and Kananaskis Valley. With the chance
of afternoon winds, Anton and I went for a day of cragging at Wasootch, great
pick since the sun hit B Slab around 10:30 and it was hot in the sun by noon.
I was stoked, led three routes and top roped one. Started
with a cold rock lead on “Orange Arete” bolted 5.8, then led “Cracked Slab” bolted/trad
5.9, then after Anton’s great lead, top roped “Silver Bullet” bolted
5.10c. Finished with a lead up “The
Funnel” bolted/trad 5.8.

Anton's turn on "Cracked Slab - 5.9" |

"Silver Bullet" 5.10c follows right ramp, then left below roof. |
Great to be on rock so nice and early in the season.
