Ascensioni in Rattlesnake Point

The main line (non-extended) is definitely not a 5.10d. I think it's misrecorded here.

Nice warmup. Route was a little wet from the snow/rain over the last few days. Crux is a fun move. Foot is good even while wet.

Was a nice warmup. The top can be climbed with just friction, if you desire to make it harder.

Kept falling at the crux - crux is about 2 bolts up. The needed crimp was a bit slimy and I was just gassed at that point.

After that crux, climb is enjoyable.

Route is graded 5.10b in the guidebook, have listed the grade as that. Guidebook also mentions was originally a 9 but a key hold is missing, thus the upgrade.

We found some wasps/hornets having a feast on ladybugs at what would have been a really nice hold. Lots of side-pulls, and everyone that climbed it in our group had a foot slip at the same point.

Really fun climb though!

Gonna count this as an onsight. Belayed a friend up it last year - don't remember a thing about his run.

The holds near the bottom 2-3 draws are a bit dusty/dirty and you definitely want to stick clip this one. Past that point, a great climb!

Continued on to the second half of Be a Mentor. Good climb!

This route's grade is so far off. I know that Sean Sullivan ripped a hold off last year - it's not what it used to be. Either I know bad beta, or you have to hump the nose while searching for a blind 2 finger pocket on the right, with simultaneous heel hooks. It's crap, don't bother.

It's somewhere between as hard as or JUST easier than PD. Good climbing!

Marked as a Redpoint, but possibly a flash - if I've previously climbed it, that was at least a year ago and my memory is hazy.

Either a Redpoint or a Flash - if a Redpoint, I last climbed it a year or two ago. Fun climbing. Marked as a Redpoint so I don't "cheat".

I would say this is MUCH easier than Crystal Palace

Had a bone to pick with this climb - last year I couldn't figure out the high left foot crux. This year, was super easy. Move felt great.

One spot that makes you think a bit, otherwise nice & easy. First time on this route this year.

Fell at the last move. Should have it next attempt!
