Ascents in Lost Horse by David Gibbs

One hang! My does that crack get thin and technical for a bit.

Partner failed to pull the early crux, so I had to follow my own route.

While a poor lead due to bad gear, this is an excellent and highly enjoyable top-rope, and an anchor at the end of White Lightning sets it up well.

An excellent lead, though tough for its grade.

Lead pitches 1 & 2 - linking them. Followed pitch 3.

Top-roped after leading "Frosty Cone". This felt, even on TR, to be at least a + harder than the previous one. (e.g. 5.7+ to its 5.7.) The gear looked like it would be good, though, and the climbing was fun.

An awesome and fun climb. The gear goes well, and the climbing is never desperate on good holds.

I was going to lead one of the 5.6s, but looked at this one, and decided to go for it. It does seem a bit soft, though, for a J-Tree 5.7.
