More Cowbell is New Rockies 10-Pitch 5.7 Sport Route

There’s a new 10-pitch 5.7 sport route in Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rockies that promises to be very popular.

Called More Cowbell, the 315-metre bolted route climbs on Delta Wall above Highway 40 across the valley from Nakiska Ski Resort.

There’s a cowbell fixed to the top anchor. More Cowbell was a comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live back in April 2000.

There are many big moderate multi-pitch bolted climbs in the Rockies, some are: Rundlehorn 5.5, Dancing Sasquatch 5.5, Aftenroe 5.6, Wheat Kings 5.7, The Shoe 5.8, Achilles Spire 5.8, Plutonian Shores 5.9, Heart Line 5.9 and Balista 5.10.
