Ascent Notes for: Pulse - 5.11d Average Rating : 4.00/5

Really nice route, but it's too short.

This short route has great moves in the grade, and climbs really well.

great route... just plain fun...

climb. I might actually love this climb. First time I smoked out coming over the mantle... but man is it a great climb. Big static smooth moves to good holds.

I think it's easiest to hand traverse right at the end, then top out. Climbed the route once a few years ago - came back and got it first try.

5/15/03 - Redpoint attempts (6 tries). 5/19/03 - Redpoint (3 tries). Took me a while to redpoint Pulse over two days. Did it with the draws hung, and it would be significantly harder for me to hang them myself. After a couple tries I had the bottom down pretty well, although the clips are still hard. The top is not too bad when you're fresh, but the crux for me was doing the top moves after some tough climbing on the bottom.
