Ascents in Washington having Beta

Sketchy detached columns

#2go

did a combo with relics, made for a nice pitch, 1st crux 11a went fine, tricky to find the right way. The roof up top fooled me a couple of times before I got it. The big hold out right is just that big, dyno for it

started this climb then went into Abor. design for the roof

Katie's gear was superb!

little OW Crux bits (don't face home out right and cheat yourself) up front woke me up and the little roof problem kept me awake. big gear! nothing smaller than a . 75 and doubles to 3, used a 4 and 5 too.

a bit more spicy that expected. bring lots of big to medium sized nuts because the cam. placements can be pretty crap in that crack. a lot more sustained than it looked.. maybe it was the gear fear on those placements? hard to say.

solo the start and skip the drag!

would be a spicy lead but the gear looks decent. lots of . 3 in the sustained finger crack section. doesn't seem like a place you want to stop your flow but it's also the most likely fall area so... sew it up!

Insecure Hands at on middle Section, Rate 10a not 5.9 in guide book

fun! thought required when the right gets a bit OW and you need to battle past it. decent pro and can use both cracks without even fully extending the alpines for a straight line.

took the legit variation sans left crack entirely, #5 under the roof and a 4 and three thereafter. all you gotta do is want it!

ow. bring your edging shoes and NOT your crack shoes. and give it a TR first because it's a tad cryptic to me.

bring trips 1-3 and two 4's if you really wanna be safe. .75 and . 5 have placements but no other good smalls. anchors at the top of the double cracks. recommend the cleaner to stop at the intermediate belay, pull the anchors then connect to that belay and lower off of it. our rope got stuck like so many others.

Great jam crack

Great twin cracks

Ugly offwidth

woohoo! it was a close one today but I nabbed it! arms were so cooked at the top the best holds on the route felt like garbage. stem more next time and stop trying to do everything in perfect crack form dummy

so good, just do it!

I thought this was a great route. super chill, grey gear. three cracks for most of it and even four for some! go get on it!!

whew! blew my load too early on this one and suffered a massive runout at the end. rack backwards big to small next time.

OW mandatory. good chicken winging and heel toe moves, happy to be on TR but doable next time on lead.

Much stiffer than the grade would suggest...

Good beginer climb

Very sustained for the grade

surprisingly good, the bush is not in the way

beautiful finger crack, funky gear

was fun, albeit slippery

good warm up

nice jams and edges

low commit fun! use the crack!

Awesome crack! Wide hands for me (fists for you smaller people) Need a lot of big gear #2-#4 C4 doubles, and a small nut to protect the top out as most of the stuff at the top is loose. This wall needs traffic people!

I didn't like this too much until the giant hand eating pockets at the top. So fun!!

I didn't like it that much, but maybe I was also really tired.

Bertin got sandbagged by another party into doing this one. Interesting but it sucked.

The roof start felt ridiculous to me. The rest I felt I could have redpointed if I tried. Didn't feel 4* to me

Looked easier than it is. Reachy

Looked harder than it is . fun route

Fun crack route

Awesome route.. now that I read the name of it, I guess getting your heel higher on the crescent would help.

Really fun!! lots of little pockets and an easy roof.

Choss

Never climbed a 5.7 with a v2 boulder start before. No feet and overhung, but at least there were good jugs

Really fun sustained climb, buldgy in spots, few rest spots, but oh so good. Took a rest at bolt 6, would love to come back again do it clean

don't let anyone tell you "it's all there". not for this route, just in life. take back your agency. don't be a wet blanket. you can send this even if it's somewhere else. ohmmmmmmm
