This route was such a delight! It's kind of out of character for Cosmic, but it's well-protected, fair at the grade, and has straight-forward lower-offs. It's long and relatively sustained with lots of crimpyfun edges. I think a .3 or .4 would be better than a medium-sized cam, but you could go with either. Nice work getting the onsight with an injured hand, Sonya!
again medium cam or .75 or 1 is really a matter of interpretation. may i suggest a .5 or .4 - heck go both and build yourself a comfy nest. a very surprising success as last climb of the trip. thanks slab - a weak climber with decent footwork's best friend. direct? no thanks - i'm here for the tick. and maybe the best (read: 'generous and kind and heartwarming') bolting you'll find at the county. what are you waiting for??
Great climb, if sharp and thin. Rather than 0.75 cam in Blue Mts guide, 0.5 cam much better placement in the same break (really obvious). Crispy fingertips that's for sure but a great piece of rock.
Crimptastic! Had to fight for this, with no beta or chalk to show the way. I'm glad that the excellent cam break was incorporated into the route, rather than adding another bolt. Long live the bluies mixed ethic!
Done in the growing dark with a headlamp. Looooong and brutally sharp. No real stopper move, but consistently thin, delicate, technical and thought provoking. Classic marathon slabbing, with a bit of a sting in the tail.
