Ascent Notes for: Stone Cold Moderate - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.00/5

very nice beginner lead. On your feet standing up in a dihedral.

good climb. starting off the slight overhang is fun. three cracks to work on the way up. free solo on my 2 run on this one.

As everyone else says, this puppy is fairly serious to the first bolt and about 5.6 from there.

I guess if you took an average maybe. The direct start through the left side of the roof is like a V0 boulder problem. The rest of the climbing after that though is straighforward 5.6.

Yeah the first move is 5.8+/5.9-. It is fun though and once someone in the group leads it, you can pull beginners past the first move.

the beginning is at least a 5.8 but after that it is childsplay deep jugs and a fast climb if you let it be, if you want to make it harder you wont have an easy time doing it this is either a 5.7 or a 5.11 climb depending on what you are looking for

I agree the first move is 9ish. None of the moves on the top of people's choice are as hard. I felt much better about it with a #9 nut right at the lip of the roof. Tried to stay on the face for the rest of it to increase the difficulty of the top part a bit.

I guess its an average rating of 7.

...

ridiculous to call the start a 5.7. I would say it's a 5.9 start for sure. After the first bolt, its a breeze.

Great place to take new people to learn how to climb. Crux is the first move tho. But other than that its fine. You only climb in like 3 places, the rest is just a scramble.
