Ascents in Pulpit Rock having Beta

Knowing the beta this time around, it's one big reachy move and then the rest more doable.

Non-trivial. Strong-man lead material.

Piecing it together, this is probably where the route goes at about this grade, although not sure about the alternate start. Apparently originally led by Zac Zacharias and co back in the early 2000s. Definitely harder than a 13 if you're short.

Thoroughly enjoyable as ever

The pockets are glorious. Felt easier than the 21 (White Horses) for sure, with decent rests between moves.

The holds are there but a bit sparse and reachy for me. Felt desperate as soon as I left the big pockets at the bottom. Stiff for the grade or maybe harder for short people.

Can't say it was pretty, but the pockets are fabulous! Seemed easier than the 20 next door. Carrot at the third bolt not in good nick.

If you're 6'6" and want to look better at climbing that you are, get a couple of stiff-soled shoes with good edges and jump on this! Balancey feet in the low pockets lead to a long stretch up to the horizontal that saves about 12 moves on what your short mates will have to do. Take plenty of small nuts for rigging the anchor. The carrot bolts look to be in good condition.

15+ years of erosion probably have altered the climb quite a bit. Not sure this is actually the one I topped out. The climb needs some cleaning before any real attempt as it can holds can get covered by sand. Pretty crumbly footholds. Pleasant technical moves otherwise.

Sandbagged

Follow the pockets, good fun. A tight fit to get the plate on the last carrot.
