Climb a 5.11 rock climbing route

“Like most new climbers I ventured to the Smoke Bluffs in Squamish, set up a top rope and quite literally hung out on the wall. After a solid one day outdoors my next step was to top rope Yosemite. I know some of you must be cringing, what a sacrilege. But I was new and to me, top roping was the most exciting thing in the world. My goal was to climb a 5.11 route and solidify my climbing status. We found a climb that looked doable, it was a chalk-covered zig-zagging crack with plenty of face features around it. After an hour of working the route, it went, and I had a new profile picture to prove it. I admitted to myself this was different than the gym, but clearly, now I was a 5.11 climber.”
