Ascents in Mount Charleston

1st try

Hard

Spy-Function straight into obvious Manphibian ending. I decided not to trav right to the rest on Spy Fiction (which I know is maybe dumb... just wanted a challenge).

FA

Tried over 16 years. Ended up using Trentino beta for the crux undercling move and then Curtis beta for the top out. Drizzling rain and cloudy made the limestone sticky. 5 other people sent their projects that day.

Awesome route with crimpy crux moves before the anchor.

Polished but cool.

2nd go. Nice steep face climbing.

2nd go over two separate days.

Kyle on belay. Roost Empty. 15 attempts over 5 or 7 days. Very foggy and high humidity.

Finished on Cop Killer for full value.

Trentino providing the beta was key until the one arm mono ring lock campus

get a spotter so you don't flatback off crux...

#markbeta ftw.

Sent it after two seasons on my 164th attempt. Best climb at the Hood so far.

Very cool climbing. Technical slab but with good texture where you can stand anywhere. Some spacey and slightly scary clips that felt a little insecure. Enjoyed the climbing.

Fun route. Very slabby and on your feet. Major foot pump. Bolts are a little spacey at times. Feels somewhat like a bolted trad climb.

Hood "slab" delivers again. Never ending classics

Fun following a flake the whole way.

3rd try! It's a condensed Rappin' Boys. Fun!

Possible first ascent, not sure. Unsure of grade. 5.10 into 4 hard moves into 5.9

really fun, hood slabby

not bad

Needs a LOOOOOOT of cleaning. Very sharp and crumbling everywhere. Needs a good wire brushing. The anchors are so far to the right that cleaning it from the top down would be a pain so I seconded it to clean.

2nd try. The top little slab moves got me the first time. Sharp but fun.

Fun moves, very well protected.

The epic is over! Crux is transition from overhang to face but red point crux is getting to the last bolt. Fell countless times here before figuring out some techy beta that included a bunch of tick tacking my feet up. Happy to have finished and put this one behind me.
