ASKIN' FOR IT 5.11

 

A line we first TR'd a few years ago, Askin' For It follows a beautiful (bolt protected!) flake up to a horizontal crack that leads straight to a blank headwall.  Both Sam (right) and Gary (left) had a go at leading this testpiece but couldn't quite pull it off...it still awaits a clean first ascent.  July 2001: Peter pulled off the FFA without too much dificulty.

MTW (Mighty, Tighty, Whitey) 5.11b

   

The new testpiece for the crag & for Salt Spring, MTW starts with steep .10b face climbing and then heads through two 5.11 roofs.  The shots above are of Peter on the FA, September, 2001

And here's Paul Campbell on the second ascent pulling the initial roof section

I gave it a go but my feet cut loose at the first roof and I caught some air...
