Ascensions dans Metcalfe Rock

Fun, easy finish to my first multipitch. Anchor hangers are after you top out and are set waaaay back from the edge. I used my rope to extend the anchor to the ledge and tied a BHK/BFK to belay my second off of. Rapping off the nose was epic

I used an alternative beta as mentioned by someone earlier. Climb the drawline, staying mostly right, until the spot where there's two hangers side by side. Clip the left one and then keep left for the rest of the climb. This variation keeps it nearly pure slab the whole pitch, making it a fun balancey romp up small hands and feet. Much more fun than the reachy arete variation by staying right. Still 5.8, and a hard 5.8 imo.

sweet route, quality is fantastic no loose rocks found. Top anchor is 2 mussy hooks. really nice ledge about halfway up

About 90FT ground to anchor, doable with 200FT rope

Sandbagged based off the guide book, learned the hard way but awesome climb!

Came across a little bat hanging out in a crack near the top

A very straight forward 5.5, but be wary of the lengthy runout from the last bolt to the top of the cliff!

Simply awesome slabby 5.7 with a choice of two different second pitches. One is a 5.5 (right bolt line past belay anchors), and a 5.11b I believe (left bolt line past belay anchors).

First bolt on the route is quite high off the ground, so consider stick clipping if you feel uncertain about your abilities.

Really fun but a weirdly tough 5.6! Plus having the tree right behind you certainly makes any potential fall that much sketchier. Worthwhile climb though with a nice view.

First ever outdoor climb. Simple chimney with plenty of rest spots. Jam your way up

After knowing the proper beta, this route is WAY easier than I made it the first time. Stick right of the draw line until you reach two bolts side-by-side, then stay left of it. Crimp city up to the anchor from there, which you'll approach from the left.

Watch for choss. I ripped off a rock bigger than my head near the top.

Good climb. If you're going to use that shared bolt - have an alpine draw or something similarly long, it's quite far to the right. Skipping it isn't a large ordeal.
