Ascent Notes for: KB-5 - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.20/5

.

I had heard over the years that this was a weird 9, not worth climbing...I disagree...it has some neat and committing moves for a 9

stick-clip unnecessary

A tall, pretty, interesting hard-to-read route, deserving stars in the guidebook. Use the stick clip! Surrounding routes can be solidly climbed without the stick, but this one is not very juggy and you're committed once you start pulling, over a bad fall off the ledge.

had seen others on this struggling and going left of the second bolt. I followed when I climbed and went left, too, but didn't find the 2-finger pocket they used. an excellent example of using someone else's beta and having it mess with my own reading of the climb skills. on the second try I followed my own read and easily sent it.
