Ascents in Klinger Spring

wowza it was pretty tough with some really delicate clips and a lot of route finding back and forth on the arete but better than advertised.

harder today than normal for me.

always funsies

eh, not terrible? #1,#2,. 75 at the top but the crack is about two moves long and easy.

redemption!!! easier than I remembered. "it's all there" -some asshole

super fun and safe! easy clean falls and well bolted, easier than the grade suggests?

the holds on the roof are tough but if you just pull up left and lock off to get the good holds above you can mount it pretty quickly

finally lead this! full double rack for sure, tons of nuts, get feet up high into the roof before fully pulling it, keep the back to the wall so you can shoulder scum through that section. bring a #4 for up high

ok so . .. nothing bigger than . 5. two . 75 at the very top, lots of 1/2/3/4 down low. you could probably slot two #4's if you wanted to. I'd skip the nuts though, the placements are pretty scary/miserable as the crack opens up in the back so often.

just cleanin' gear, nother day in paradise

SUCH a good route. the arete climbing is primo and chill, the moves around it are memorable

the crux was pretty tough with small feet and just rocking up to hope there are better holds above (surprise, there are). not so wet today just a whittle weepy

fun easy not granite

much harder and less secure than expected at the roof which is definitely the crux. protection is good through the spicy bits though so not much to worry about.

more fun with gear! #2 followed by #1 at the very top. didn't protect the middle run out as it felt secure.

I was lame and took at the crux but next time it's up into the left using the seam to get past the blank slab and it's all gravy after that

the roof jams if you get them right are great. fully extended .75 and #2 in the roof to protect the crux. bring all the .5's, I'm talking four if you've got them and lots of nuts and maybe don't step over the arete until you're even with the chains because fuuuck

really gross crux at the beginning you would not wanna blow and can't really protect and early season mossfesy isn't helping but ... I mean 5.8. super swimmy hand crack after the broken bits at the beginning.

spicy fingers! didn't finish out because I didn't feel I had enough alpines left. boo. the meat is in the first though.

Did without gear, yikes! I think you can probably get in a .75 or #1 at the top and nuts down lower and you certainly should aim to do so.
