Ascents in Madras

wow! Not a bad jam all the way to the top, Little bit of funk right at the end. Name of the game at Trout Creek is to climb fast. Rack was like so- Camalot sizes- 3 #3's, four#2's, 1 or two #1's, 1 #4 for the bottom, I cant remember if any .75's are necessary.

A tough little move down low, red alien and then .50, two or three #3's, 3 or four # 2's, 2 or 3 #1's, and another .50 for the top. I was so pumped after gold rush I didnt stand a chance, I would like to try this one earlier in the day, no real hard moves, just really pumpy after 3 other Trout Creek cracks

30 m of blue to yellow "hand" crack. No way. It will take a week to recover.

Many #3s required.

Solid handjams.

Very difficult low section where the crack is just a little thin for my fingers. Project.

HARD for the grade! Difficult thin hands section.

Some of the best finger-locking I've ever done! Winter project!

Strenuous! Calves were super-pumped from all the stemming.

Hard down low for sure!

Huffed and puffed to the top of this one.

Laybacking to victory if you have enough gas!

Quite good!

First route at the Trout (aka the Stout Creek)

The top is a bad size for me.

Great wiggly crack

Sustained

My favourite all day.

Every route here is good. This one gets ignored but is fantastic.

Working burns.

This route is mega. Working burns.

Nails. Seems a little way off. Quite hard to get on two days in a row.

Both these 5.10s are super-classic
