The Tool Shed
The Tool Shed is the newest drytool crag in the Canadian Rockies. The four routes range from D3 (5.6) to D6 (5.11) and climb thin cracks in mostly solid limestone. The crag is no more than 15 metres at its tallest section. The best part of the Tool Shed is that it’s only 10 minutes from the car, in Canmore, on the approach to the Junkyards ice climbs below Grassi Lakes. The routes were established by Gripped editor Brandon Pullan and New Zealand Alpine Team climber Jaz Morris. The routes are all named after ice tools: Quark Crack D4, Terrordactyle D5 Fusion D6 and Chouinard O’corner D3.
