Mckenzie Pond

This place is great! The rock is super coarse and is pretty sharp, so don't plan on being able to climb hard three or four days in a row, but it's worth it. Some really nice projects I got on were Slobadon V5, a nice crimpy/compressiony start up, slightly using the arete, then a scary top out. Ian's Favorite Problem V5, a short 3 or 4 move problem on terribly small crimps up to a nicer hold, then the feet get bad, then up to the top. Also there were two V4's on the third set of boulders, this is the first one I worked.
Start is huge, up to a good hold, then get a nice side pull. This is where is gets tricky for short people. There is a small sloping crimp you have to make a big move to, I had to get it using the tiny feet scattered on the face of the wall, instead of the huge bottom ledge. So if your a tall person, this problem will probably feel maybe v3 at the hardest, but for the rest of us, v4 is sandbaggin it a little.

The second one I worked is a really nice compression problem.

It is a slapfest up the arete on nice solid holds, with a couple crimps you could snag. The feet get a little small and desperate and you come around the arete, then the top is a little awkard but fun after you figure out the perfect holds. Its a tall one though so be sure to have good pads.
