Ascents of Reed's Direct

What a great line. Pretty stout for 5.9 and gets 10a in the guidebook. Some of the jams were a bit funky however the climbed was engaging the entire time. Loved it

I did read the supertopo description of p2 but was stoked to get out and climb so applied a healthy amount of cognitive dissonance and figured I could 'just sit'. nowhere near enough gear with doubles up to #2 then singles up to #4. all four hexes got placed. fought valiantly for the onsight until about halfway then was completely flash pumped. top piece of gear was always placed on lead until the final offwidth. not the first time i've been completely shut down by '5.9' but afaicr the first time i've had to pause part way through pulling up rope to dry heave into a bush.

Did the offwidth 3rd pitch (10c) aswell. Awesome.

Very pumpy

This climb ends with a 5.9-5.10a offwidth that most people skip
