Nova Scotia has countless arête climbs, but few are as beautiful as Nick Sagar's Last Chance V10. What makes Last Chance so outstanding is wonderful defined holds the whole way upon both the arête and the face. No blind slapping for nebulous crystals here. Last Chance is refined movement with nuanced footwork and high body tension on crimps, side pulls, pinches, and underclings. The top is committing but secure. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star classic is an unfortunate landing into a widening chasm. If this description has you psyched to hop on Last Chance as your next project, this week is probably your Last Chance... The arête holds bake in the sun starting in the morning and it's getting harder every passing day. The black flies at owl's house are truly nightmarish right now. I'd advise waiting until the fall.
