Ascent Notes for: Sons of Yesterday - 5.10b popular Average Rating : 4.88/5

Wonderfull... Serenity crack is THE finger crack... This is THE hand crack ! The same crack for 5 pitches !!!

...to Serenity. I thought the first .10a pitch was a little awkward but an excellent challenge with good pro. Very enjoyable. You can do the route fine with only two, 2-inch pieces, not four like the super topo guide recommends. The final pitch is really cool, "do I layback, or do I hang out below the crack on hard jams and no feet?"

Did the whole thing in 2 1/2 pitchse. Good locker hand crack most of the way. Definately worth climbing. Pretty soft for the grade accept for one short section.

Many including myself think the first 10a pitch is more challenging then the crux on Serenity. It involves weird balancy/physical moves and stepping out of the crack. However the climbing is so good that it is hard not to run it out!

That first real pitch is really sustained and is not thin hands as Supertaco suggests. It is more like off fingers in the back of a flared crack. Excellent link up from Serenity Crack that makes for one of the best days of crack climbing I have ever had. Didn't do the 40 foot 5.8 friction last pitch.

Actually thought parts of this were harder than Serenity (steeper and more physical). Only did 2 pitches, had a stuck rope problem. Next time hopefully will go to top.

best hand crack ever

Approach from Serenity Crack. The second pitch was my least favorite (a little too repetitive and sustained for me).

approach from serenity cracks, i used two points of aid to get past the crux on one of my .10a leads. otherwise, all free. no one fell.
