Grey Scale- Yamnuska

On Friday I had a great day dodging rain showers and grabbing excellent stone on the modern route "Grey Scale" with Rob. Its a stellar route taking a pretty direct line through the grey rock left of the Bowl and Devils right Hand. Some laughs were had as we moved through the difficulties and Yam settings to the summit ridge where we topped out, had a little food , then started the rappels back to our shoes and packs at the bottom. Just great.

Firing the first pitch in good style.
Second pitch.
Last pitch.
Last pitch again.
Freehanging rappel off the summit ridge- good way to end the day! I would really like to do more of these modern routes this summer.
