Ascents by mkycrb

Can't remember the last time I struggled so much on a 5.11. Tricky crux followed by intersting & technical top-out sequence. Better suited for a cool or shady day.

Is there really a climb up the blank slab? Kudos to whoever can pull that off. I found the steep featured line left of the bolts to be challenging but at least doable. First bolt seems unnecessarily high and out of reach of perfectly good stances.

Fun & on the low-end of the grade

Beautiful line, great jams and sporty roof section

So good.

Obvious crux at high bolt, rest is much easier.

Nice crux

Fun!

Felt too contrived

I got the feeling this grade only applies to slab masters

Find good stances!

Zig zag your way up the path of least resistance, which also helps lengthen the climb on this small wall. A direct line (between 1st & 2nd bolt) looks feasible at a much higher grade.

Strange route setting. Remaining 1 bolt is unecessary and anchors are placed just prior to what should be the crux of a harder climb. Just seems wrong.

Has its own anchor now

Low crux leads to fun steep climbing

Crux section is low w/o a good stance for gear. Have your finger sized gear ready unless you're solid at the grade. Not actually mixed, all gear.

Link it with Love Machine.

Fun little trad climb. Shouldn't need anything bigger than #3 BD

Wow, amazing line. Did both variations and thought the easier one (staying in corner) was like 5.8+ or soft 5.9.

Despite the first 15ft being quite damp, thought this was a really fun climb with varied trad climbing

Great climb. This may even be easier than M&M if your crack skills aren't up to par. Felt closer to 5.9-

Nice roof

Also a bit dirty

Did the trad variation for the start, which was fun, even when damp.

Fun stemming

Fun and well protected from good stances. Short but sweet.

Super fun and airy for the grade. Didn’t think the ‘+’ was necessary in the grade.

Felt stiff for the grade. I thought the top out was harder than the other trader lines in this area.

Bit dirty

Direct start is fun and goes at 5.10'sh. if you have a 60m no reason to not continue to the top.
