Ascent Notes for: Paradise - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.29/5

This route is okay. The chimney moves down low are cool, and some interesting foot-intensive traverse moves on the face above keep it interesting for sure.

long, varied, fun.

Besides the chimney move in the beginning, it's pretty boring.. 5.9-.

Probably a lot more fun for a beginning leader just breaking into the grade, as the climbing eases considerably after the bulge. Okay for a warm up or if your waiting for another route at the belt. FWIW, with my 60m, my belayer(standing on the ledge) was just able to lower me to the ledge, maybe my ropes a meter or two longer though. TIE A KNOT IN THE END!!!

Climbed it just before an enormous rock nearly killed my friends and I.

This climb is nice and long but not as good as the book makes it sound...

technical chimney start onto a moderate face with crux in the middle of the face. Good warm up climb.

No comment

start in a chimney work through a small bulge than trend right for a fun face climb cool climb and no lines
