Spent another day at Frenchman Coulee. This time, we were climbing mostly at Sunshine Wall. 

  • T, 5.6, LD, Chapstick, A few 5.6 moves but otherwise low 5. Only set 3 pros.
  • T, 5.7, TR, Another Notch in My Lipstick Case, The crux is a hard 5.7 or even 5.8 especially compared with the previous 5.6.
  • S, 5.7, LD, The Chossmaster, A fantastic route with 14 clips. Every move is worthwhile.
  • S, 5.6, LD, Peaceful Warrior
  • T, 5.7, LD, Seven Virgins and a Mule, It’s quite a fun chimney climb. Not a sustaining 5.7, but the chimney is narrow. Girls might have advantage. I had hard time getting through some parts. No anchor on the top. Either walk off and rap from another route or build your own.
