Ascents in Slash Wall

The top mantle on this was soaked, making for an exciting experience.

this start isnt that much harder

Inside the crack was a bit wet, but nice route

good fun, nice rock on this wall

Nice rock, nice gear but a bit short compared to other routes at the point.

Delightful lead, beautiful rock formations

Got pretty scared leading this one. Lots of excellent rests on the climb if you jam a limb into the crack, but extracting yourself from the rest and getting yourself moving again was the heady part. Found some slimy rock where I was hoping to find jugs. Probably should've placed more gear - placed 4 cams and hustled to the top. Bring big off-width cam sizes for Slash and its neighboring routes to stitch up the sizable cracks.

Grabbed anchor draws on first attempt.

Now sports a fixed piece or booty as Chris forgot his nut key and was seemingly 'too hot and sweaty' to hang around to retrieve. Left insitu as it is probably similar vintage to the rocks surrounding it. But one tap with a nut key and its yours
