Climbing "Kosatka" (grade 7-) in Kosatka is a powerful experience. The route, named after the Russian word for Killer Whale, lives up to its name with steep, sustained climbing on generally positive holds. The crux typically involves a technical sequence navigating a small roof or overhang, demanding precise footwork and body positioning. While the rock quality is generally good, be aware of potentially polished sections, especially near the popular holds. Successfully sending "Kosatka" requires a blend of strength, technique, and mental fortitude. It's a rewarding climb that offers a fantastic challenge for climbers pushing their limits in the 7th grade.
