Back up to Guides rock just outside of Banff in the Canadian Rockies this time of the 5.11a "Paper Chase". At 5.11a this route packs a punch with tricky gear, steep technical climbing and wild exposure. The rock on this face never ceases to amaze!! Absolutely world class rock. Never mind the ticket to France just take a trip down the road.
