Ascent Notes for: The Graduate - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.60/5

One of the better single crack pitches for the grade at RR and definitely the best climb at Willow Springs. I would prefer 3 C4#3's next time...where the crack overhangs the hands get large/fist. Just a short straight in section for me, no layback. A C4 #2 or 3 protects the traverse left below the roof. Huge jugs await, exposed, but easy last moves. Stout for RR 5.10a. With Peter S.

Super steep, but short.

great climb

WAY better than what the book says. single rack to BD #5, and triple BD#3. defintely follow the roof out right, way easier than it looks. had to bail first try because i didn't have enough large pieces.

bring single rack from .5 up to #5, with triple of #2 and #3. The #5 with a long sling gets you started off the slab. Lay-back and head for the top, plenty of places for good stance and shake out.

Finally came back and bagged the redpoint- awesome route!

great climb

sweet climb with a pair of excellent cruxes...one technical, the other one pure power!

Bring extra#2 AND extra #3.Excellent climb, hardest clean trad lead to-date.

Guidebook puts it at 5.10
