Stand at the base of Burgers and fries and walk towards the mcDonalds until you fall over a cliff. That is High Cliff.

oh ok in that case i've already found it, i was wondering what that area was called :)

has it been recently cleaned up? i climbed a pretty nice (but semi vegetated) crack that i think is around the 5.8 mark, furthest climbers right of the cliff heading up the hill to b&f.

any ideas which route it is?

there was definitely a stump at the top.. nice enough climb with a two different finishes at the top, the left crack seemed harder.

The corner crack is 20 Minute Workout (10b), a super classic.

Red Nails is a couple hundred meters left of that, you will know it by the short roof with a fixed pin.

Splat

Post by Sang » Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:58 pm

Anyone know the details on the climb "Splat" at High Cliff? The old guide says it's the cracks immediately right of Red Nails but Mclane's new Canadian Rock guide says its further right beyond "Run Like a Thief" (10a), up the overhanging finger crack. This crack is nice, steep but feels harder than 10d at the lip about 8m up. Any ideas?

Im almost 100 percent certain that the new guidebook has highcliff mixed up. i noticed this when i looked at it. Splat is on the left with some overhanging cracks leading to a offwidth section. Its a good line. hard too.

That sure sounds like Step n Stump. Find the old Campbell guide and see if it's in the same place.

further down the cliff, more towards channel road there is a sort of S shaped snaking corner crack that ends half way up the face at an anchor.

anyone have an idea of the grade/name?
