Ascent Notes for: .38 Special - 5.10a Average Rating : 2.80/5

Fun route

Not so great climbing the entire way.

I couldn't finish this a year ago. Left disliking it as much as the band that shares the same name. Finished it this time and I still think it kinda sux. It just doesn't seem to flow well.

fun

I was making my way up the face then whats this it got hard all of a sudden. moves trickier than a 10a me and my friend thought. the rest was easy though.

One tough move that felt harder than 10a

almost dark. went up it on toprope to clean it for a friend. on toprope it felt like a fairly soft 10...

This ranks up right up there with Grey Matter for the title of worst route at Fosters. If more thought had been put into bolting it, it could be a nice lead, but the bolt placements don't match up with the sequence, which is pretty tricky and wandering in places. Combine that with not having great stances for clipping and you're looking at some real nasty pendulum potential.

Fun sporto lead, short.

felt hard for 10a. maybe i was having an off day. tricky to read. had a harder time on this today than onsighting snake charmer.
