"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Wasootch Slab, BLived here 5 years before we visited Wasootch Slab for the first time. Stacy and I found that this slab is much warmer than our local Canmore crags, Cougar, Grassi, Grotto, Heart, etc. It has always had a reputation as a crowded top roped area used by recreational climbers from Calgary. We had it virtually to ourselves mid-week in October on more than one occassion and found tons of lead routes. B Slab is pretty popular, if you can climb higher grade, I advise you to go further up creek. There is a good selection of 5.9-5.10 section just right of Second Corner. These routes don't appear to be overly polished yet, but are getting that way. Cheers.
