Ascent Notes for: Lucky Streaks - 5.10d popular Average Rating : 4.54/5

Swung leads. P1 and p3 have some 'don't wanna fall' opportunities awaiting you.

Everyone complains this route is hard on the feet. Sure it is, but sack up! You'll manage. :)

Came back two years after my previous ascent and bagged the RP. My excellent partner, aerili, bagged the onsight. That the crux sections felt significantly less difficult than I remember is a nice indicator of how much I've improved. The 10d section is short but technical.

swung. led 2, 4, 6.

Great route. How did the first ascentionists do it in hiking boots?

Another fine Tuolumne classic.

Fell leading the crux. The 5.10 parts are very short and easy to protect, but above that there is alot of 5.9-ish stuff that is R or just tricky/sparse pro. So do this only if you're ok with 5.9R and lots of hanging belays (my feet were still hurting the next day). I saw some slings to the side of the route, so perhaps it is possible to rap off after doing p3 - which seems like a fine idea (there is nothing to be missed on p4-6).

followed comfortably in spite of knowing that I'm not a 10.d climber. crux is do-able without pulling on gear (to emphasis again, as a <10.d climber). great crack, helpful knobs, some cool liebacking toward the top. overall fun route.

Maybe I was just not feeling it, but this route seemed pretty mediocre until the last two pitches....

i followed the crux pitch.
