Ascents in Birdsboro having Beta

#2go

this climb is super thin. It's more like 3 boulder problemd in a row, and it's 12a, not 11a

this was an endurance haul. very comfortable flow. really gets exciting 2/3 the way up the climb. the pump factor is building and you just gotta go for it.

THis was an interesting climb. it makes you think that you want to "lay back into the climb". i tried this. very hard! there is an alternate version that use sidepulls and the flat face of the area to lay back in. granted im just coming off an injury a week back but this will pump you out plenty to make this go at a 11.d grade. i though this was harder than grovin

it was hard

Watch the 2nd Clip

Pieced a TR together with a half dozen takes. This one's tough.

This is a decent climb. warmed up on this and then decided to non comittally proceed to the 12C extension

THis was meh. kinda an awkwardclimb in general. the only reason you should do this climb is for the link up to the streak.

2 guidebooks call it a 9

sketchy at top

not 5.8, harder

my first lead outside

TR after Silvia lead. Had a take before the 3rd clip.

Lead after Silvia abandoned her 2nd ascent

1 TR as directional from Itching to Climb. Just reached anchor from right. Couldn't get left/above anchor.

TR. Moist rock. Top big block left of anchor is getting loose.

TR

good climb to learn on and to warm up on before a tougher ascend

nice climb

nice clipping positions, fun climb

was ok

Not a 5.8 more like a 9

first on-sight

We climbed this one to the top anchor. It was Pink, as Silvia went first and left the draws on the bolts. A bit awkward to clear as the anchor lowers you to the left (along Bottom Fishing) from the bolts.

Nice lead. Crux was getting to diagonal crack.

1 lead. Looks easier than it is, but it is easier than other 5.8's. Used corner.

1 TR. Silvia's first lead fall trying left. Crimps and corner on right is the way.

1 lead with John belaying.

my favorite 5.8 in a while. sequency route that feels 5.9 onsight and then gets better with repeat assents.

If you are short, the first move may be too tall for you. French Aid is always an option.

aka rain check

done in sandals

loose rock that easily breaks off

Good Beginner Lead

nice easy lead

Good Beginning Lead

Started moving right along the diagonal flake. It's easier this way.

Second climb I started more to the left. It was more challenging this way.

Warmup. Easy lead, with slighly awkward crux getting to super holds above anchor.

1 TR warmup

good for learning to lead
