Yonge Street

Fun adventure up some OK pitches and lots of vertical forest.f Mellow lower slabs after quick approach. Low angle middle leads to a fun finish up cruisy (sometimes loose) rock to the top of the wall.

Pitch one: Up left on solid slab and right to small ledge (5.7, 15m)
Pitch two: Through notch and slab to below roof (5.6, 15m)
Pitch three: Jam the crack right and follow a vegetated ramp to ledge (5.6, 30m)
Tent Peg Variation: Move left and up flake to crack and slab (5.8, 30m) *Watch for the tent peg in a crack before ledge*
Pitch four: Follow rib to below upper slope (5.3, 30m)
Pitch five: Up slabs to ledge (5.2, 30m)
Pitch six: Up right past bulge and rib, avoid scree (5.3, 30m)
Pitch seven: Up left across scree, find bolts on solid rock to below groove (5.3, 30m)
Pitch eight: Up the groove with a funky move mid-way (5.6, 30m)
Pitch nine: Up vegetation past tree, right up slab (5.6, 30m)
Pitch 10: Move left up small wall with a rock-over move, follow up arete (5.8, 30m)
Pitch 11: The S-pitch – Tricky slab up right, then left and back right (5.7, 30m)
Pitch 12: Up right past a big solid block with a tricky move to arete, move left past loose ground (5.8, 30m)
Pitch 13: Through trees to mossy groove, enough clean rock to get up (5.7, 30m)
Pitch 14: Up ramp to right and back left to top of wall (5.5, 30m)
