leading the 10a first pitch

leading the 10a first pitch

My brother Perry took this shot of me. It was an onsight but as you can see I do not have the jamming thing down. Nonetheless it is a great climb. The second pitch has got the most awesome fingerlocks.

The climb is less than vertical, but it's no slab climb!!!

Exasperator at the base of the Grand Wall, first pitch 5.10a, second 5.10c. Often done as one 50m pitch.

that's a great shot! I've seen many a pic of Exasperator and thought "hmm, that looks casual". Not from this angle!

Great photo!

Looks a lot like Mr. Natural in Yosemite 10c (used to be 10d)

If I remember right, the angle is about 75 to 80 degrees. It is a very strenuous finger crack though. Great climb!

It's an awesome line. The angle is much steeper than I imagined, nothing you can slab climb. Even smearing is delicated. The 10c pitch is strenuous, but there are good rests. The sweet hand-jam at the end tops everything off nicely.

I spent the whole summer in Squamish and this, Exasperator, was one of the funnest lines I climbed!!

We did this in the middle of the night one time and it was one of the coolest times!! You couldn't see past your last piece or more than 10 feet above you, like you were in a bubble of fingercrack fun!
