Description
Classic trad climb at Skaha that sucks up gear.
Location
The obvious corner crack to the right of the super chalked routes of Sidewinder (5.10c) and Cytotoxic (5.11a).
[Hide Photo] Looking down from anchor at top of Ready to Strike. Climber on left on Just Basking (11b, sport). Climber on right on Cytotoxic (5.11a, sport).
[Hide Comment] An absolute must do. Not a typical Skaha climb in that it’s not edges, but classic corner climbing. So worthwhile. I like having a #4 but it’s easy enough without it.

[Hide Comment] Fun climb with various movements. I thought the crux was the roof section. The upper crack section has perfect jams or can be lie backed but protection is more thoughtful as the crack is wavy and uneven.
