Ascent Notes for: Squall - 5.10d Average Rating : 3.90/5

.

Definitely easier if you can reach the first hold. Was fun, but just another 2 or 3 move Rumney route.

"the short climber will find the opening moves well into 5.11 range"-- says the guidebook. I submit that the person who wrote this didn't actually have a clue about what it would feel like to a 5 ft tall climber, and just randomly called it "5.11 range".

Well, if you are less than 5'2" or 5'3", 5.11 range it isn't. I winched up to the starting holds, and stated from a deadhang.

Great moves, lots of fun. Worth repeating

this climb is alot easier if you can reach the big hold just above the first bolt but great traverse sequence with great hand and foot holds. The wrap above the tree is a bit weird but a sling with and acouple of quick draws will work. but going up just look for the juggy chalky holds and it make is easy!

great climb with awesome traverse moves to the TR's

I LOVED this climb. But then again, I love overhanging jug climbs: the power, the stamina, the RESTS!. the end coulda been better, but it's awesome to complete a climb that I had to mini dyno the start to a three finger pocket/jug. If you are short or at max grade I liken the start to getting into a cold swimming pool. I watched some 6' guy bypass the first two holds and I was like F that guy.

glad to be 6'2

Coordinate with Three Easy Pieces for the anchor position.

reachy start but then it gets easier
