Flagpole arête - York Redoubt

Flagpole arête - York Redoubt

July 2, 2020

Halifax Bouldering is truly spectacular in the variety of locations. Looking for bouldering in a WWII fortress? Halifax has you covered. Nick Sagar's 2002 line Flagpole arête V6 is special experience. The boulder affords some privacy nestled in a shady grove of trees inside the York Redoubt fortification!

Besides the beautiful and unique setting, it's a quality line. Tricky moves to turn the corner and get established, followed by pleasant flowing moves up the arête. It climbs in style and difficulty very much like the top-out sequence of Resurrection V8.

Access here is an extreme privilege - don't fuck it up. No crowds, no music, no power screams, brush your ticks, keep quiet, and leave no trace.
