HEART Mountain


The Rockies favorite rock climbing peak near Canmore.

The routes on the mountain are all amazing and challenging for anyone looking for big adventure. The NE Face is bay far the most traveled, but routes like Premature and Finishing touch are some of the wildest climbing on 5.10 you could do, on natural gear. Some of the corners that you layback up this wall are superb, clean rock with little friction, almost as it you were trying your luck on a granite corner.


NE Face of Ha Ling
  NE Face of Ha Ling Peak was my first every big rock route here in the rockies.

Doing this route was so challenging for my partner Don Puttee and I, we never realized how route finding could be such a chore, we found ourselves out their on a limb not sure if our anchor was going to hold. Off route was something we all have to deal with, if we are going to attack these things by ourselves for the first time.

Premature Ejaculation, by far the best line on the mountain.
Some may say that Premature Ejaculation is hard for its grade, run out and poor pro. Well when Michel D. and I attempted the route, we found the climbing to be nice and straightforward with a few cruxy moves that were well protected. Near the crux pitch of the climb is where we found the route finding the trickiest. We spent a couple of hours working the one pitch trying to figure out where they went. Lots of bail stuff everywhere, someone needs to go up there and fix up a new Dir. Var to the crux corner of the route.

Finishing Touch is the best three pitches of climbing on the entire route.


Finishing Touch has another wonderful pitches of weird rock that is very hard to route find through, and lots of time is spent trying to figure out where to go. Once you find the anchor then the rest of the climb becomes a powerful layback that is sometimes wet near the to of the big corner. Well-recommended climb for the bold. A big warning on the lower pitches up Quick Release, there is a big wedged flake in the corner that seems very dangerous and a plan to remove it would be wise for someone’s future safety.
