Aftonroe – 5.7

Canada > Alberta > Banff National Park > Mount Cory > Guides Rock

220m / 722ft

Description:

This fantastic 9 pitch route is a Rockies classic! It sees a ton of traffic so early is best. Close to Banff, the approach is 20-30 min uphill. The rock is fantastic, very grippy slab climbing. Not much in the way of loose rock. This is a great climb to introduce someone to multipitch. The climbing is very well protected and is not difficult.

I thought 3rd pitch was the money pitch, great climb. Neil pulled out a jug within the first 10m of climbing on the first pitch. Welcome to the Rockies buddy lol

First real multi! Pretty sure we got our rope stuck in a tree on every rappel with the wind. But what a sweet day, the descent in the scree is the spiciest part of this climb. Thanks Amanda for bringing the stoke and babysitting my ass through this one

Hot day, high winds w Meg. Some of the best stone in the valley, classic and polished for a reason. Great and accessible route for the grade

Great climbing for the grades. Approach and descent are dusty and tedious, but the climbing makes it worthwhile.

It was a fun day but I wasn't all that thrilled by the climbing. It felt very easy for 5.7 to me.

Wooooo! Awesome day out! Would have been a bit more fun had we not been right on the ass of the guys who eagerly rushed up the trail to beat us there all day long :/

A decent climb, unfortunately the technical interest doesn't live up to the quality of the rock, the views or the popularity. But with easy access, safe fixed pro and belays and a fantastic position over the Bow River it's understandably popular.
