Ascent Notes for: Blank Page - 5.11a Average Rating : 2.67/5

Somehow the first bolt got unclipped once I went past it, so I essentially soloed up to the second bolt. Scary.

BLANK

The start and finish are the meat of this climb. I prefer thin face climbing and this is what it offers at the top. There is a key finger pad hold you need to find in order to make the final move to the anchors. Feet are also critical when make the last move.

Damn, I finally used this dubious "meh" word. I'd zero-star this except perhaps it could help prep for longer thin sections of Bolt Talk and its ilk.

BETA SPOILER...get the no-hands-rest. LH low sidepull crimp; RH knob crimp; LH high above the thin horizontal ridge to a better crimp. The ridge itself isn't good enough.

Slab finish to the right

short crux on smooth slab limestone. fingerpad moves at the top. trust the hands you have and use the feet. moves to the first bolt are not as trivial as it sounds.

2 cold shunts await you at top with little room to clean. Optionally use the crazy set up of KB5 to the left to clean and then lower.

No comment

Flashed the start, through the second bolt, and within spitting range of the top anchors. Fell 3 times before getting the top of the route cleanly - very crimpy face, with minimal feet.
