Classic Ontario Sandbag
This "5.9" in Rattlesnake Point, Milton, is a prime example of an Ontario sandbag. Look at the strenuous face climbing and difficult pro! The crux for Wolfang (my partner and climber in the photo) was just above him, having to make difficult 5.10 moves to a ledge above. The route starts by pulling a small overhang (bottom of pic), then very difficult face climbing and protection up to a rest (where he is in the photo) and finishes up that slightly overhanging section you see above him.
