Climbing Video: Matt Wilder Sending The Path (5.14 R)

Matt Wilder recently did the 3rd ascent of Sonnie Trotter's traditionally protected route The Path (5.14 R) at Lake Louise, Canada, and he put together this excellent video that gives a great idea of what the climbing (and protection) is like on the route:

    That was amazing. Really inspiring to see such a great climb and climber. The route is like a sport route with Trad gear. Perfect!

    Really awesome.

    With all these trad posts lately, I'm surprised Rhoads hasn't been on commenting his heart out.

    Does anybody know what the "R" in the grade stands for?

    1. Narc

      R means that climbing is runout and a fall could result in injury

    I've always thought that the line doesn't really look that good.
