Holy Chossamoley on Croissant Wall offers a focused, high-intensity sport climb that demands both power and precision. From the ground, the black rock face presents a deceptively approachable start, with an easy scramble to the first bolt, setting the stage for what follows. After clipping the first bolt, the route quickly shifts gears into a technical sequence of mini-boulders with a series of challenging roof and bulge sections that test your ability to maintain body tension and foot placement. Each bolt is positioned to protect these strenuous segments, giving climbers confidence without diminishing the physical demands of the climb.

The climb’s 82-foot length packs a punch into a single pitch full of sustained movement. Early on, you’ll find the holds both physical and precise, requiring careful effort to reach the second "free" bolt. Then the real climbing begins—three distinct, powerful mini-bulge roofs peppered with bolts three and four, forcing a calculated rhythm. The low crux ends with bolt five just below a ledge that offers a deserved respite, allowing climbers to shake out on a no-hands rest. This moment of recovery is crucial before you face another sequence of mini-boulders, but this time with comfortable rests separating the moves.

The final challenge is an imposing roof, demanding a confident bucket slam and a careful release. While it hits 5.10 difficulty, this move offers a tactical breather before clipping the chains at the anchor. Long draws are essential here due to bolt placements below each roof and bulge, preventing rope drag and helping maintain flow.

Located in the heart of Cedar Park within the Okanagan region of British Columbia, the climb is framed by the rugged and dry terrain typical of this cooler climate zone. The Croissant Wall itself stands out for its clean black rock and sustained routes that attract sport climbers eager to test their endurance and technique. This route, rated 5.11d, balances a solid physical challenge with manageable protection, making it a standout for those chasing sharp, gymnastic moves in an outdoor setting.

Gear up with a standard rack of quickdraws and remember that long draws between bolts 1 through 5, and again near the upper roofs, help to manage drag and protect your rhythm. The approach is straightforward but expect a short hike through mixed forest trails typical of the area.

Timing your climb for morning or late afternoon is wise to avoid peak sun exposure on the warm black rock while maintaining decent conditions for grip and comfort. After sending, rappelling the single pitch route is uncomplicated from the two-bolt anchor equipped with biners. Whether you’re seeking to push your sport climbing limits or add a powerful route to your Okanagan climbing log, Holy Chossamoley delivers an engaging outing with sharp features and gritty moves.
