Ascent Notes for: End Game - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.75/5

We hiked in from the west side -- long walk!

My last route of 2008, a good "end." Expect fantastic climbing, lots of bolts, and a gorgeous setting. No one around today, we started after noon to stay in the sun. First pitch is the money, it's sustained and throws a lot of different moves at you. NOTE: go left when you hit the headwall and another bolted line breaks away right.

this is a classic, for me... :)

I enjoy this thing more every time I climb it.

you can slot a piece at the start of p3 but it takes more energy than it is worth to me...

Fantastic climb. End Game has alot of variety and is a good-feeling, consistent climb.

Bolt 9 chopped on first pitch, Since we were at our limit we bailed. No problem for stronger climber who can make it safely to bolt 10.

this so far has been one of my favorite routes here...awsome rock and exposure....as well as an adventure decent....i was surprised to see bolts instead of slings for raps.

I did not lead, but plan on going back and giving it a go! Great route, the first pitch is a little enduro (the hardest as well), but pretty cool. The second and fourth pitch was fairly mild. The third pitch wasn't hard, but WOW! Lots of fun. We didn't do the last pitch, ran out of time. The route was pretty well bolted, only a few places of runout.

Good route.

Really light rack: if you're at your limit, a 0.5 camalot for p 3 and a set of nuts to try to jiggle something in to sort of protect the 5.8 runout on p 2. Maybe a screamer for the old bolt low on p2.

Fantastic,,cool route...first pitch goes left then up..really cool 10a..(well bolted) like 15 draws...then happy fun all the way..no need for any trad gear...third is well bolted...take the camera!!
