Ascents of Lick The Pig

4th shot overall, 2nd today. Used the crack, I felt it was fair for 21.

revenge is supposed to be sweat...not sweaty!

shme, maybe I was just tired

Had a few issues getting past the first bolt

pretty hard climb if you do it on a hot humid day!!!

Still felt like 23. 6/8/05 This is a great climb, its not 21 but its a great climb. Hard start and finish. More like 23, pumpy.

Cranky little number, who put this up??

very tough! not a good warm up boo hoo hoo i'm so pumped!

Tough top half when the holds just disappear.

easier than re-attaching a bicep to its tendon - im officially injured.

JJ heliumbagged me on this telling me it was 24!

A bit awkward from what i remember

Hard.

hmmmm. would be pretty cool if you didn't have to use the crack to finish it.

Did this ages ago on Top and said I hated it.

What no stars? I thought this was fun with a great couple of moves.

Flash but for the first committing move past the first bolt. Some hard moves on this, and the ending is bloody exciting. I was in a stemming stance before the last moves for ages before throwing myself at it with everything I had. Really makes you think, with both footwork and hard placement imperative to make this to the grade.

Warm-up due to the rain. I was so close on my 2nd shot but missed it. Next time!

Not the climb to leave until the end of the day. My belayer told me it's nicknamed the devil climb once above the second bolt...desperate start, a necessary detour into the crack, a full body pendulum to circumvent the thin feet on the rightwards traverse, and a 2 finger half pad undercling to finish. At least the clipping position was nice!

Very sharp holds. This climb spanked me.

Great with a bit of crack lowering the quality through the middle. It helps to have big muscle strength with strong fingers for the shallow pockets.

Rpt, another warm up

Hard and sharp

Only climbed this because my 5-year-old wanted me to. Not a great choice. The finish is very contrived, not to mention hard for the grade.

Some interesting bits

Second time working this, fucking hard for a 21.
