A fun day out climbing a short 100m four-pitch sport route up the lower tiers of Cascade Falls in Banff. None of the pitches were hard, maybe 5.4 grade at the crux, so Kat and I swapped leades on this hoot of a fun climb. My favorite pitch was the third one which involved a rock hop over the waterfall to continue up a fun blocky corner. It took us about one and a half hours to climb it, and after walking down we decided to climb it a second time, swapping the lead order so in the end both of us had led all the pitches. Our second lap only took an hour.
