Ascent Notes for: Cactus Patch - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.07/5

Too one-move-wonderish. But put it up, then get your lesser climbers on the 5.8/5.9 TR that starts Crysal New Persuasion (risking a swing fall into the ground), traverses the early ledge to CP's bolt #1, then up CP.

It's an ok route. A bit slippery.

and slippery to boot

technical. Saw this route and figured "10a, i'll warm up on it". Foot slipped in the very beginning and blew the onsight. Not used to technical cruxes on 10's for sure. Decent route though.

Climbing with Chris

I'm a little under 5'8" and didn't have any problem with the crux (which is the first move off the ground).

Start is an interesting balance problem. Seen it done many ways...helps to make your own beta.

the crane technique can teach you much.
