A four pitch route located left of the popular "Valley View". Altough being a sport route, don't expect it being grid bolted.

The only route to date topping out on Bankhead Buttress. It also might provide an alternative rappel route after doing Dan's Delight etc.

A new sport climbing area below Black Rock Mountain.

Here is a link to a GPS track of the approach trail, in case the flagging is blown away. Hopefully this is not one from one of the times Mark Carlson got lost on the descent ;-)

BBQ'd Rib 140m 5.6

From Greg McDougall via TABVAR's Facebook page:

A route on the West End/Chimney Cricket area of Yamnuska, Goes at 5.6, relatively good rock and very straightforward. It avoids the chimneys and gullies and tries to climb the ridge/rib as much as possible.
