Ascent Notes for: Sacherer Cracker - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.50/5

this is on of the finest crack climbs i've done.

this is one of those climbs that really lets you know you're in yosemite, beautiful granite, bomber jams, and casual ow, wish it was 500 feet longer.

A good intro for my partner Jonathan

i used gear up to nr. 4 and if i would have had a nr. 5 or 6 would have used that too

shut down at the top.

put in a good 1/2 hr, trying to get the last 4 feet, no go

never hug till i down climbed to the little ledge below the
chock stone

hard cookies not fun pure work

Pretty basic Valley 5.10. I placed four pieces. A BD .75, #2 ,#3 and yellow alien below the OW. Mostly sustained 5.9 but we'll call it a .10 anyway.

perfect everything!!!

Total cruiser

this was the most sustained climb i've ever done... and i was on second! had to hang at the OW... didn't know how to move through the middle section of it (just above the chockstone).

Don't be intimidated by the OW, it's not that hard and the protection is good - you don't need super big cams. I just put a yellow alien in a horizontal crack below, and no problem. The OW section is short.

AWESOME crack...felt cruiser. I thought, "so if this is valley 5.10 I am stronger than I thought...Rostrum here I come!" Then I got to the offwidth. I thrashed in that stupid thing for 20 min and gained 3ft maybe...Slid down to the chockstone, traversed to the chimney on the left and made it to the chains...Onsight w/ variation.
