[Hide Comment] Well worth the scramble up to the ledge. One of the most exposed and beautiful climbs in The Obed. The ledge gets a lot of sun year round - great winter climbing area. Dec 1, 2013

[Hide Comment] Climbed the route in the winter right before a big snow. It was dry and super good! The squeeze ledge is one of the coolest belays at the Obed. Big moves on jugs the whole way up! Feb 17, 2021
