Powered By Ding-dongs stands as a compelling challenge for climbers who crave sharp, technical ascents in the striking northern rock faces of Skaha’s well-known Northern Crags. This compact 60-foot sport route demands focus immediately, launching you into a vertical sequence that tests finger strength and delicate foot placements from the first moves. The climb takes a direct line over a series of bulges, each adding a layer of complexity that keeps tension tight through the upper bolts. The rock offers solid edges and pockets carved by time, but the persistent overhangs ask for precise body positioning and a steady breathing rhythm. Approaching the fourth and fifth bolts, the crux stretches out with sustained moves that push you close to your physical limit, only easing slightly for the last few meters where you can mentally reset and enjoy the runout to the anchors. The route isn’t long, but its intensity packs a punch perfect for climbers sharpening their 5.10d skills or those who find excitement in sport climbs requiring control and determination. With seven solid bolts protecting every move, it’s a route where safety is straightforward, letting climbers focus on executing each sequence confidently. Skaha’s dry, warm climate combined with the Northern Crags’ northeast-facing walls makes this route an ideal choice for morning or late afternoon sessions, avoiding the harsh midday sun. Climbers should come equipped with sticky shoes for precise edging and a well-prepared mind to tackle the sustained nature of the climb. The surrounding wilderness pushes you away from urban distractions, with the Okanagan Valley unfolding nearby, presenting a quiet and rewarding setting for a focused climb or a full day’s adventure.
