Ascents in Parking Lot Rock

fell at the crux pulling through on the plate with the right hand after pulling vertical, failed to spot my hand but the . 75 was great. bring as many . 3/.4/.5 as you've got

cruxy roof moves were a lot harder than the grade tells if you ask me. looks like I too did the 5.9 variation

Very run out slab climb. A 70 meter rope will get you down (barely) if you rap in the chimney to the right.

The new guidebook calls it 5.12b but I tend to agree with the original rating. Regardless, after a spell of little climbing due to injury, burnout, and possible tropical illness, I was pleased to redpoint this thing a few years after I'd first tried it. Adam witnessed an exciting fall off the opening slab (would be safer if your belayer wears a sumo suit).

Very nice crack, racing the impending storm. Off to Wyoming.

Felt quite stout, especially the slab

Icky chimney to start

Nice, though a bit run out if you were only leading at this grade. As the sun set.

Wide spacing between bolts... A fun climb if you can get past the fact that there was twenty feet between each bolt... I could not have gotten past that...

The moves to the 1st bolt are dicey, but the crack above is stellar. You can place very small cams below the bolt, but the stances are less than desirable.

Great climb!

Slab crux that suxs!

Small pro or a long runout that will make you cry mommy!

great, but weird traverse at end

slabby!

Gorgeous
