Description Suggest change

This is a nice, moderate edge and smear climb. NOTE: trad gear is required to make a belay at the end of pitch 2 if you choose to climb P2.

P1: climb the bolted slab to a two bolt anchor. A toprope is possible with a 70m rope only (5.7, 32m).

P2: angle slightly left, and follow the bolt line over the roof. Be sure not to wander right into an area of loose blocks (denoted on the "whole enchilada" overlay picture). A supplementary finger-size trad piece is optional before the roof, but the move is easy. Make a trad belay once you reach the large, horizontal crack when the bolts run out with gear in the size range Black Diamond #0.5-2 (5.6, 60m).

P3: make a final pitch to the top, and belay off of a large boulder with your rope. Some parties may be comfortable simply solo'ing this pitch (5.0, 15m).

The name of this route comes from its likeness to the classic slab climb "Canadians on Horseback" in Icicle Creek, Leavenworth, WA.

Location Suggest change

It is the farthest left bolted line on the Devil's Slide. It begins at the road. 

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts per pitch. A 70m rope is required to toprope P1. P1 has a two bolt anchor. For P2, you must bring trad gear from BD #0.5-#2 for the belay. For P3, belay from a large boulder atop the Devil's Slide (wrap your rope around it).
