Carving a path up McQuirks Mountain, Anatomy Lesson stands out as a compelling test of traditional climbing finesse. This single-pitch route, stretching a solid 80 feet, challenges the climber with a mix of steep vertical cracks that demand sharp movements and confident gear placements. The route opens with a welcoming warmth from the sun, gradually shifting to cooler shade as you ascend, framing the climb in changing light and mood. The rock feels alive beneath your fingers, with cracks that invite both hands and protection while offering a satisfying grip on textured stone. Near the top, a steeper crux rises about twenty feet from the belay, requiring a brief moment of concentrated effort—a section that, while protected, still asks for precise footwork and mental focus. The gear here is generally straightforward: a standard rack up to three inches fits comfortably, though it's wise to reserve your 2" piece for the upper cracks where placements grow more valuable. From the belay station, views spill out into the surrounding forested landscape of New Brunswick, while the sense of exposure remains balanced, providing both thrill and security. Approach trails from the parking area wind through mixed woodland over moderate terrain, keeping the transition to the climb manageable and inviting. Anatomy Lesson offers an excellent entry into the classic trad climbs of McQuirks Mountain, combining accessible technical moves with rewarding surroundings that encourage both novice and practiced climbers to push their limits carefully and confidently.
