Carving a distinct line on the Lady Slipper Wall, the climb known as So! You Think You Know Good Kung-Fu? stands out for those ready to test their technique against a sustained, demanding sport route. Positioned roughly 75 feet to the climber’s left of the popular Elmo in Space, this 60-foot ascent offers one continuous push up a wall that challenges both power and precision. The route’s bolts are set methodically, ensuring confidence in protection, yet the sharp 5.11d rating warns that it’s no casual stroll—this is a climb that commands respect. From the ground, the wall’s textured face draws your eye, promising holds that require committed grasping and movement. Expect to navigate subtle crimps and mindful shifts on features that keep you engaged throughout the ascent.

Located within the sprawling expanse of Ontario South Bouldering and Rock, the setting provides a rugged and remote feel, with quiet forest trails leading you in. The area’s geography offers a blend of sunlit rock faces and occasional shade, particularly in the cooler months when climbing demands tempered conditions. Planning your attempt around stable weather and bringing a 60-meter rope is critical, as the route’s length slightly exceeds standard 50-meter ropes, emphasizing the need for preparedness.

Climbers will appreciate the straightforward protection setup: solid bolts spaced to enable fluid movement but positioned to encourage thoughtful clip timing. The climb’s nature is uncompromising, with few rest spots midway, creating a pump that tests endurance while rewarding those who hold their composure. This is a route that suits advanced sport climbers who are comfortable on sustained technical terrain and can read the rock well enough to sequence efficiently. Beyond the physical challenge, the vantage point offers quiet moments to scan the surrounding forest canopy and distant ridges, reminding you that this experience is as much about connection to place as performance.

Approaching the wall involves a moderate hike through mixed woods, offering a chance to tune into rustling leaves and bird calls, setting a calm foundation before the exertion. Ensure your shoes are snug and your chalk bag stocked, as slipping is not an option when precision counts. Weather can shift quickly here, so packing layers and checking forecasts is wise.

Whether you’re drawn to Lady Slipper Wall by the lure of strong pitches or the peaceful forest backdrop, So! You Think You Know Good Kung-Fu? delivers a tight, focused route where every move has meaning. Both the mental grind and physical strength demanded here offer a potent combination for climbers eager to push boundaries with reliable protection and a trail leading you into a less crowded corner of Ontario’s climbing scene.
