Ascent Notes for: Good Evans - 5.11a Average Rating : 4.00/5

Climbed with Purf. No harder than 5.10d

This wall is so cool--forbidding and mysterious. You walk on flat ground, then all of a sudden you're at the edge of a gaping, dark abyss. This climb isn't super long, but it feels a bit committing since you rapped in. I remember the bottom was very nice, and the top was pretty steep but disturbingly loose in places.

my first high altitude technical climb. i'm a solid .10+ climber at 6,000', but higher up, it becomes much harder.

they say the crux pitch is p1, with 1-2 moves as a finger crack... to me that was no problem because it wasn't sustained. it was harder (for me) on other pitches because of sustained crack climbing moves (p2 turning into a hand/arm offwidth).

what an awesome climb, though. easy approach, beautiful views, no crowds, and classic granite/crack. many more fa's could be established in this area if you want to put in the time, money and effort. loved it!
