Ascent Notes for: Escher's Way - 5.10c Average Rating : 5.00/5

Suggested Pro: Double sets of cams from very thin to 3”, one 4" cam, set of nuts, many long slings.
-P1 (5.8) Climb crack.
-P2 (10c/10d) Climb crack out of belay and head left to cross flakes which connect to right facing corner and face above (face has two protection bolts).
-P3 (10c) Climb right leaning crack about 30’ then leftward climb over roof using long runners to avoid rope drag! Take diagonal finger traverse left across face to gain belay nook.
-P4 (10a/b) Head up flakes and cracks to right facing corner and obvious ramp up and left. Follow face to another right-facing crack above which curves rightward and up. Long slings again recommended.
-P5 Climb diagonally left out of belay through face with a protection bolt, then farther horizontally left to better knobs. W/in 25-30 feet from belay, start heading directly up where the climbing eases to big pro-able knobs. To prevent rope drag, good to belay at first good ledge with decent crack for natural gear.
-Last pitch is longer than one rope length, so either look for great belay where terrain eases with numerous chicken heads and eventually slab w/rarer cracks to pro, or simulclimb when rope goes taut.
