Ascent Notes for: Journey Home - 5.10b Average Rating : 5.00/5

Led all pitches. Did it in 4 pitches to the big ledge and soloed the exit flakes/chimney. 70 m rope. Last two pitches were rope stretchers.

led the first pitch....awesome.

I had a ledge collapse at the top. Closest I've come to death in 30 years climbing

9 pitch could use a bolt ,poor landing for grounder. The crux was the sustained nature of this excellent climb , Id do it again . Much harder than Cruise in my opinion.

I've done this route twice, and enjoyed it both times. It was nice to get to lead what I followed the first time. The crux pitch is superb. The second time up, my belayer fell asleep while I was leading a pitch near the top. That's always fun.

One of the best routes in the canyon. First pitch is nowhere near as hard or runout at people say. Don't believe the hype.

Linked with Leisure climb.

Did Maiden Voyage the day before, then this. Long and very sustained. Excellent climbing! Didn't bring enough nearly enough water. This was a life-changing experience, something I'll never forget.
