Couscous

5.11c, Sport, 45 ft (14 m),  Avg: 2.9 from 7 votes
FA: Caleb Mazurkiewicz and Simon Bertheleme
International > N America > Canada > New Brunswick > Red Rock Mountain > Main Wall (Center Face)

Description

"So nice they named it twice." Start up and move slightly right of belay anchor. Clip the first bolt and step up and left onto a small ledge. Reach out and clip the second bolt then traverse slightly right from the ledge to the face, immediately into a boulder problem. Fun movement brings you through the bolts to the top where massive victory jugs await. Top-out on the "Beer Ledge" and enjoy one of the best views in the province.

Location

To gain access to this route you will need to get on the large ledge that breaks up the main face as it changes from slab to vertical face (Love Ledge). You can either climb Hylonda, rap from Twelve years After or scramble up a fixed line on the right (low 5th class). 

Protection

Bring quick draws. Bolted belay and rap station.
