Sisyphus Summits, 5.10d

4th-5th Pitches- 50m- 5.10d/ The hardest climbing of the day in my opinion. Right off the belay for the 4th pitch is what we considered the crux move of the entire route. Take a balancing slab move out right with absolutely no hands and make another tricky step up to reach a finger edge and clip the second bolt. Avoid temptation to go right or left on more featured ground and slab climb your way directly up the bolt line finding the gratuitous edge here and there. Eventually it backs way off and you reach a ledge. Continue up and past the next belay, where again the hardest climbing (5.10d) is found through the first several bolts. Once through a tight corner, it opens up to very steep and delicate climbing that traverses right to find the only possible moves. And again, it eases as you approach a small, but comfortable belay ledge. Sisyphus Summits, 5.10d, 21 Pitches, North Face, Ha Ling Peak, Canmore, Alberta, August, 2009
