Ascent Notes for: Apoplexy - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.14/5

Felt much better than the last time we warmed up on this climb. Only a couple of awkard moves (mostly likely my poor technique!)

think 3d

Nice climb with variety

Much more fun then bailing right to the chains. A thoughtful move gets you set up to climb up the chimney. Chimney was fun, mellow climbing.

Lots of great climbs right in that area, holds are all there and protection isn't to sketchy. Some people and guides say that there is a flake, about half way up, that is about to pull off, but it seemed pretty solid to me.

its all there, get a spot

makes you think on lead - great fun.

I wanted to vomit the whole way up. A lot of the moves are not obvious and can be on the balance-y side of things.

A nice climb, but I'd rather have a Coronary... I'd like to lead this someday soon.

I agree with the general consensus that it's probably not a 5.9, but since it was my first 5.9 climb the first time i did it, i'll always claim that it is ;) It's a great climb though. Fun and pumpy. All the moves are there, you just have to find them and even be a little creative.
