Ghislain's Vacuum Tube V9 is serious adventure climbing. Cross the open ocean at Terrance Bay, scramble across ankle breaking coastline with as many pads as you can carry to try and protect the even more ankle breaking landing. Then spend an hour scrubbing loose pebbles to get it into climbable condition... "what do you hear?" "Nothing but the rain." The climb itself is magnificent - giant jugs the whole way, yet still manages to be hard - seriously unique for Nova Scotia. It loses classic status because the crux and awkward topout occur over a very unpleasant landing. inb4 Therien calls dab - yeah, I know, but it's not a serious project, it's a fun summer day send, so after 6 hours of hauling pads across TBay, if you want a cleaner send video - you'll have to do it yourself.
