Ascent Notes for: Green Spur - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.92/5

Did first 2 pitches and then finished Rewritten. Spicy crux with small polished feet.

1st 2 pitches linked, then did Rewritten

The first two pitches I combined which was fun but we were trailing another party and then a party came up behind us on Rewritten and it made for a long day on what is a fairly quick climb. The third pitch is quite hair raising as everything you're climbing is hollow and larger than most cars. Fun moves though. The rest is cruiser and fun.

We combined the first two pitches almost entirely in the dark (my headlamp shorted out). This made for an interesting outing.

Good Eldo stuff. Some loose rock in unfortunate spots.

One fall, down low. Not used to that Eldorado rock. I need to get back there...

Wow--the flared corner on this climb is so clean and compelling; a definite must do. Good pro all the way, never too hard.

megaclassic. delicate stemming w/good gear. definitely linke P1 and P2.

saw pairs of swifts attached upside-down to each other falling from the sky, just off of the main wall, spiraling down and down, swirling and fucking

The flared chimney is awkward. I've done the entire route before and P2 (starting from the tree atop Grandmother's Challenge) is extremely loose. Be careful here and anything you knock off will likely end up in the middle of the crowd that is always at the base of these climbs.

Use 2-60m ropes and do the first 2 pitches together to the red ledge. It will be all of the rope, but you can rap right back down.
