Ascent Notes for: Aid Crack - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.56/5

But short

I was walking by after the descent and saw this 40 foot thin crack. On-sighted it. Just to make sure this is the right one, here is my description: Thin seam protected by a few small nuts. It's mostly thin face climbing, though and the seam ends at a jug. Get one more piece in and top out onto a ledge with a tree.

Just for the hell of it. Scary aid climb, not much in the way of good placements close to one another. I recall 3 hook moves, 2 were good. I'm calling this a A2, due to the hook moves and flaring cracks with dicey gear.

after chickening out numerous times, I can recall the feeling I got soloing this route when I hit the loose bucket and realized I couldn't downclimb...it was the last 5.10 I ever soloed, and my kids are grateful.

Balance.
