We are pleased to announce that Stu Smith made the first ascent of Mullet Power (5.12d/13a) in Smoke Bluffs this week. Stu had scrubbed the line a few years ago but deemed it impossible. The line, located in the Island in the Sky area, follows a thin seem up a short overhanging wall. According to Stu, the route requires a lot of compression slapping and small gear with the top crux only protected by a micro nut and a horrible 000 c3. He reported that falling at the top would most likely seem you ripping and taking a digger.
Here is the iphone video of Stu on the route.
