08.29.09 Brilliant Bluffs Megawatts 5.8
Awesome!
Brilliant Bluffs near the town of Castlegar; we climbed a route called Megawatts(mouseover photo to see route overlay).
The rock looked chossy, but our guidebook assured us that Megawatts was a must do climb.

Can you guess what prompted the name Megawatts?

Almost there.
Success! Despite the choss, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, reaching the summit in a leisurely 2 hours and 45 minutes.
