Ascents in Jimmy Cliff by David Gibbs

Easy fun climb. Good practice for multi-pitch trad, one non-intimidating terrain.

Simul-climbed it. A fast, some-what safer way than free-soloing. And, addictive fun!

Very fun, close-bolted chimney climb. The slab was wet (rain), but still had good traction, most of the chimney was dry.

I like chimneys.

Excellent climbing, too bad so many of the holds are telegraphed by chalk.

Right after simul-climbing "Clippity Do Dah", we decided to simul-climb this one, too. I was follower this time.

First three bolts were nice climbing -- too bad about the rest.

I got seduced by good holds out left at the 2nd bolt, and took a solid whipper while trying to find my way back right to clip bolt 3. Decided to try right, on the next attempt... but too far right. 3rd try, got it just right, and finished the rest of the climb clean.

Sometimes feel a bit distant between the bolts -- but the harder moves are always well protected, and you're generally clipping from a rest.

Felt hard to me, but not my strength. Also, getting to the first bolt on the wet (rain) slab section was a bit more exciting than normal.

Fell twice on the initial bouldery crux, decided to give my belayer a break from catching more of those falls.

Came back and got it clean seconding it -- crux was still a bit tricky, but I found better beta.

Missed finding a good foot at one point, and peeled. Oh well.
