Ascent Notes for: True Grit - 5.10c popular Average Rating : 4.38/5

fun

A few tense moments with a soloist. Some very sharp areas. Decent route

Sustained climbing at the grade. Found crux to be first pitch. We took the 10a instead of the 10c option in one of the middle pitches. Lead half the routes.

dang that rock is sharp!

The route was very enjoyable, it climbs nicely at its grade and is very sustained with no easy pitches. The corner pitch was awesome. All in all a great day climbing.

Did this route in 3 pitchs which avoids any hanging belays and makes the day go by faster, very good route, the 10c crux and other cruxs are quite cruxy but lots of fun, with 16 draws I only skipped about 3 bolts per long pitch which made for nice climbing.

The climbing was a little bit intimidating with all of the slabby, spiney rock, but the moves were all easy enough.

not polished, some boot rubber on the hold though.

went with guild last year,

don't listen to all the whining about this route being polished... de nada.

fun climbing on water grooves... with only a couple odd bolt placements.

Good day out with Eric. Hard to find a multi pitch this sustained for the grade in the Rockies, but of course when you can bolt the line vs trad, makes it a bit easier to contrive. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Good route to sneak in for a short day.
