Sun 7th Apr 2024 - Lac Sam
Right Wing TnA Wall
5.7 Scylla and Charybdis Sport 36m, 15 Very Good
Was wet in the first crux section, so had to avoid that to the right.

 
5.8 Jenga Sport 35m, 17 Classic
Driest route of the day - only the start (easy) was wet.

 
5.7 PG Big Finish Sport 25m, 9 Good
Was wet in places, but mostly places that didn't matter.

 
5.5 Sunday Morning Stroll Sport 25m, 11 Average
The usual, bringing someone up so they can leave.

5.7 Hard Randy Moss Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
5.7 Hard Giggles Sport 20m, 11 Very Good
I am coming to appreciate Giggles more and more for how solid and sustained the climbing is at the grade.

 
5.8 ~5.9 Diggy Diggy Hole Sport 18m, 10 Very Good
Like many of the climbs at Lower Cliff, a bit stiff for the grade.

5.10b Easy La Madrina Sport 15m, 3 Good
Had a foot slip, and thought I was going for a ride, but my hand was wedged into a crack, so it caught me. I think I may have wrenched my left shoulder a bit, though.

 
5.10b Locutus Sport 15m Very Good
Surprised at how easily this went. Really good friction today with the cooler temperature must have helped.

5.8 ~5.9 Le "Speech" de Gaétan Sport 20m, 6 Very Good

Main Cliff
5.9 Migizi Wazoson Sport 70m, 27 Very Good
I'm not sure why P3 & P4 are split as separate pitches, it doesn't really make sense. Not long enough, no rope drag issues, and pretty consistent at the 5.4-5.5 grade. And P2 isn't 5.9 unless you screw up your route finding. The (nominal) final pitch is not 5.6, somewhere in the 5.4 to 5.5 range. (Compare to P1 of Perspective, just to the right, a tough, but fair, 5.6.)

I'd call this three pitches: 5.9, 5.8, 5.5.

Still, a lovely bolted outing.

And, as I had already climbing P1, and Switftly Tilting Planet, so went up the crack to the right for P1. Pretty good climbing, and looks like good gear, should probably be a climb.

5.6 ~5.7 L’amuse-gueule Sport 15m, 6 Good
Start is 5.7 climbing, rest is 5.5 -- I guess that averages out to 5.6, right?

 
5.5 ~5.7 SAXE o’fun Sport 17m, 8 Good
5.8 Surprise sur prises Sport 20m, 10 Classic
My favourite at school wall. It starts like all the rest on the wall - crux getting to bolt 1, maybe 2, then easing off. But it is longer, and has a sting in the tail, with the steep finish.

5.8 Brûle pour Ciel Sport 14m Average
To climb at grade, often you're left of the bolt line, on the ramp. Direct is probably more like 5.10.

Hangars on first and second bolt, and on the right-side bolt of the anchor are loose/spinning.

Main Cliff Armed and Dangerous
5.8 Metamorphosis Sport Classic
Would be nice to have one more bolt at the start, otherwise, still a classic.

 
5.8 Anchovie Caper Sport 6 Good
Was wet in places, so finished on the last two bolts of the 10b to the right. Might actually be a more interesting variation than the regular finish, but wants a couple long draws to prevent rope drag.

 
5.7 Half Nelson Sport Don't Bother
Still very sharp.

 
5.6 Rainbow Sport 7 Good
Steep for a 5.6

This is solid climbing at the 5.9 grade, more sustained steep than usual for this grade at EPC, but very good climbing. And, it will feel harder if you're not comfortable with a couple hand or foot jams.

My goal for the day -- got the red-point.

Still a bit torn on the grade. It is somewhere in the 5.8+/5.9- range.
