hey, so me and my partner were looking for a multi-pitch to do this fall and looking through our sports climbs in the canadian rockies book we settled on the raptor wall, surfing the internet to find more info i came upon this page http://www.acmgguides.com/html/routes/a_RAtitle.asp which has a more in-depth pitch by pitch analysis. I was a little confused because the topo information is so different, some of the pitches are doubled and all the grades are completely different...can anyone clear this up for me/?

Hardest move is maybe 10m up the 1st pitch (5.10c). Otherwise, the rest of the route is 5.10a or easier.
Route finding is trivial. Just follow the bolts. And each belay station has double rap rings (if I recall), so just stop and belay every time you encounter one.
It's a fantastic route.

The approach is a bit of a slog, but the descent is very fast as you come down a hiking trail (you can literally run most of it).
If you park at Whiteman's Gap, I'd say car-to-car it's around 8 hours? It's not a super long day.
