Ascent Notes for: Helmet Buttress - 5.6 Average Rating : 3.36/5

Swung leads. Partner lead first pitch, i followed clean, then I lead combined second and third up to the lunch ledge. Weird moves, seemed a little harder than 5.6, especially the start of the second pitch. Second pitch is pretty runout at the top, I think I placed 5 or 6 pieces for the about 190 feet.

.

Easy beginning, sketchy traverse... One good hold that made me tingle.

Reverse sunset, helmet butt, dive bombed by peregrins, city lights in the dusk, tandem rap: That made this climb.

Weird pro and strange moves for a 5.6

Also, couldn't figure out the 2nd pitch so I just did the first and left.

Watched the horizon go dark and the city lights come on from the ledge, nice.
