Sir Donald NW Arete 5.4

I've had the priveledge of being up on this mountain a number of times. The classic NW Arete is an incredible day out when the weather is fine. Some hero has created a 25m raproute from the mid point on the ridge where the old ragtag collection of slings would tend to drop the rapline down the north face into the abyss. Lots of exposure and moderate soloing or short roped climbing. Speed is your friend on this climb. The route can be fast, or I'm sure it can be painfully slow. I remember talking to one party in early spring conditions spending 24 hours on the route in full epic conditions. I've also been on the summit at 9am from the car at Roger's Pass. Have Fun!
