Ascent Notes for: Star Trekkin - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.12/5

Ugh. Not recommended for new leader/climber. An encroaching sense of death kept me latched onto the rock. Any primitive knowledge I had of placing gear had been washed away by a healthy surge of adrenaline. The fantastic climax was almost eskimo kissing a timber rattler when topping out. You might've thought I had a huge pair if my manhood hadn't virtually turtle-shelled up into my stomach. Along with the high-pitched cursing...

the book says there is some fixed gear up high, but it's not there anymore

P1 is very good. Crux protects well. Slight runout near the P1 belay and right off the belay ledge for P2.

Awesome first and second pitch. Definitely missed the third pitch and did some stupid climbing to exit. Would have been quality the whole way.

Followed the first pitch, led the 2nd. First pitch a little awkward near the top, but still fun. the second is just fun overhanging jugs with good pro--only problem is it's too short.

Seconded first pitch.

Fun thin climbing to pumpy jugs

Packs on hell of a pump for being short and juggy. You just have to love pluggin cams on rock this steep.

No comment

brother got 1st pitch...yummy
