Ascent Notes for: Teacup arete - 5.11a Average Rating : 3.88/5

Yes, yet another route I followed Tony on.

The crack requires some very balanced moves with hands and arms jammed into the crack. The face at the top once you traverse out left is where it gets really hard though. It looks as if something might have broken off the wall just above the bolt but I am not sure. Over all a good route especially for the crack climb.

got thwarted after clipping the bolt on the face... just couldn't find a good right hand and foot placement for the exit... Red point next time! trad for crack, sport at the end...

This is a fun route with a mix of different moves with a good amount of hand jams and smearing with the right foot, foot jams with the left foot. I found the crux to be the exit of the climb.

The hand crack is a lot of fun. The last 2 moves had me pretty frustrated.

Depending on what exit variation taken, rated 5.10a/c.
