West Face of the Mirrorball

Jen and I headed out to Pierces Pass to tackle 'West Face of the Mirrorball', a four pitch, 120m (grade 19) climb.

It took us about half an hour to hike out to 'Lunch Ledge' where we needed to do two rappels down to the base off the cliffs, the second section being especially exhilarating.


Once at the bottom it was a short walk to the base of the climb, and soon after I was leading pitch one. Compared to my last multi-pitch the climbing was easy, the rock was solid and it was nice climbing in the shade.



We made short work of all four pitches and were soon back on the 'Lunch Ledge'. We both had places to be so we called it a day after a few hours of really enjoyable climbing.
