***New*** - Lower Tier Problems!!!

Awesome day of climbing today. I checked out the lower tier, and surprise, most of the stuff was dry. The lines that I have been drooling over for the last few weeks were finally available for a few burns. Each of these climbs have taken a lot of cleaning time, as there is large quantities of moss and lichen. But the effort was worth it, and now I present "Le Nouveau Climbs".

This arete has taken a few days of work to put together. The slap from the face to the upper arete is a large move and takes a wee bit of energy. The top-out is also pretty tricky, and only

after I located a nice crimper at the top, was I able to put it together. Be careful on the top-out and the down climb. Three stars!!!

(Diamond Tooth Arete, v5/v6)

Just to the right of Diamond Tooth Arete is a reachy traverse. Start on the large undercling and move right. The top-out is a wee bit sketchy, so be careful! This climb got its' name from the constant drops of water that would smack me on the forehead with each attempt.

The faces that are farthest down the lowest tier (towards the Ingram Trail) are also starting to dry off. There's some pretty stiff climbs there, that are currently out of my reach. However, I did notice this little arete of sorts. It's hard to say, but I think it's about a v4...lots of slapping around, and an interesting top out.

Well hopefully you'll be seeing some harder climbs posted in the next week or so.
