Ascensioni in Parking Lot Rock Area

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

meh. puff puff pass. for all the BS building an anchor off to the right I don't think it's really worth the effort.

had to TR again to make a valid anchor after finding out running to swiss cheese anchors is a terrible idea

super fun rock with an easy run out and then some thoughtful slabby moves, rocking up into good feet was key for this route.

fun super easy. a rope was already up but after climbing it I'd climb it on lead no problem. probably got up it in a minute flat

did one last time forever to clean it and bail down the chimney.

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

Wasted a lot of time climbing in two pitches because i did not know how much pro was available above me.

Fun crack climb.

Suupermegaclassic! Do it! Safe some BD .4s for the top of heaps of nuts

Glad I was on top rope after Mitch led, runout!!

Such a fun climb in an amazing location! Can't wait to go back next time we visit the US!

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).

the granite scoops were so appealing!!! definatly holds its R value and pumpy for the grade on good holds

Placed two nuts average nuts and clipped two nuts in 23m hahaaha

good line, great gear, amazing summit!

good line, great gear, amazing summit!

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

About 45m, and intermittent rain. Some nice climbing though odd early bolt placement

Fun with obligatory run outs.

Lovely exposed route

Fairly well bolted for a cor route

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.
