Ascents in The Old Woman having Beta

Who said off-with is fun?

A little bit of everything, just a great line. Not awkward at all.

Run out.

Nice, easy route. Bring a #2 if you want to protect a small amount of runout on easy terrain before the anchor, but in my opinion no other gear is necessary with three well placed bolts and two solid-looking pins. The crux, to me, came just beneath the first bolt rather than pulling past the roof.

Silly fall after first bolt otherwise it was fine. Would've done it again for the redpoint but too many other climbs around I want to do!

very cool movement, placed a #2 and a #3 after the last bolt

Nice sport route

Nice, not really traditional but I think more 5.9-5.10 one high foot move that feels harder than 5.8

JTree 5.11 is, like, hard

Good lead for beginner 5.7

First Trad Lead

Climbed in the dark...awesome

TR

Hand wrecker...tape up!!

Pretty stiff for a 5.7 I thought.

sustained, excellent climb

cool!

Crux hard to protect on lead.

1st nut fell out at that spot, downclimb to place new one

FWOAR!!! I can't climb crack!!!

Highly overrated

sandbag

Classic. The unprotected bit isn't that hard. Just bring a #4 cam to protect the transition into the crack and don't fall off at the bottom

What a blast. Absolute bomber jams once you establish yourself in the crack just under the bulge. I feel the runout to the first piece of gear is a bit exaggerated, it's very easy terrain (I did the direct start, straight up) and the first piece is perfect.

Great for the grade and I don't know what the "X" is for on the start of the route. That is just dumb.

Excellent for the grade, albeit straightforward.

“We’re trying to do this in a day, do you mind if we pass you?” Double Cross in a day with Eric, many shit list points were gained!

So sooo good. Jams for days. Spicy start.

Really nice rock climb

Followed this back in October 2021, today I lead this as my first ever trad lead. Took ages to find the right placements, but I made it up there cleanly. Still a nice climb.

The first 20' can be protected perfectly fine to prevent a groundfall. I found a yellow totem, blue totem and a .75 Camelot to protect these moves.

Scary, because the outer layer of the rock is crumbling off in many places, decided to go back down at the third bolt

Very stiff for a 5.8

night climb

Brrrr! Too cold to climb, but an excelent route.

Good, tricky crack climbing for the grade. I think 8+ is a bit of a sandbag. Make sure not to miss your first .75 placement if you're at you limit.

Tricky start with fun moves.

down

Need to hands free hang at the lip and yell genronimo for the full tick!

Second go on top rope. Cedar was on it so i thought I might as well join in as I wasn’t doing anything. Very fun, bouldery, intense crack climbing. A sandbag.

Big move to a bad jam, improbable line!

First an overhanging flake and then the crux, protected by a bolt: getting from the flake into a crack on the left

Could not do the one move when going from last good hold of the flake to the crack. The move exactly was matching the right hand into the crack. Did not try very long though. For next time, try switching feet first and jamming left hand more so that I am already turned in when matching right hand.

Dont remeber OS or second go ...

Hard cranks on thin hands to start, cruiser finish.

A single staunch move that is a little harder if you dont use the flake. Okay with small hands. Then scarily up.

The first route I climbed at J-tree

I can't understand why this climb is rated so good.
