International > N America > Canada > Ontario > Ontario S Bould… > Bancroft Cottag… > Main Area

Description

An amazing problem on amazing rock over an amazingly bad landing. Start at the very bottom point of the rock smearing on the slab left with feet. Climb onto the right slap with odd guppy grips until you are fully on the slab right. Work your hands up the arete until you find the good right hand edge out right. Slow your pulse and make some committing moves up high to top out.

Location

On the obvious "Steeple" on the Steeple Boulder, opposite the Captain's Arete

Protection

Lots of Pads/Spotters bring this from an "x" to "PG13".
Need to toss a rope for the down climb.
