Ascent Notes for: For a Rocker - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.86/5

-

I had to work the first bouldery moves a few times before we started off on this crazy good and strenuous climb. Pumped out at the top of the crack and had to pull on gear to swing out of the crack where it transitions to face climbing. I'll have to come back and climb it clean.

Man, this sucker felt hard. Gear was strange at the bottom and ate it up higher, but it was akward gettting stances. Fun times, good jams.

Sustained is the first word that comes to mind while on this climb. Two rests, one before the crack, another half way up. Three point climbing mandatory and placing gear while your legs are shaking. The gear is all there, some is tedious to place. bring your tricams.

Finally got back to this one, nearly three years after seconding Chris' onsight - felt pretty cruiser in the warm january sun- especially compared to Luke's redpoint of Slime of the century (though he made that look pretty cruiser, too) and Jer Collins' onsight of Steep Show - he made it look like a stroll in the park. Rather inspiring, chaps! 'Twas a pleasure climbing with you both. (original note from 5/21/05): seconded berkly's onsight - fat route! will lead.
