Ascent Notes for: Alphonse - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.41/5

Nice warm up. It starts as a 6 and gradually builds in difficulty. Good gear. Run it long in the corner and after the traverse to avoid paralyzing rope drag. A 70M will get you back to the ground.

when it's empty I jump on it. No snakes today! always fun.

Especially when you fight a black snake for the holds. LIttle guy scared me!

Easy to do in one pitch with long runners and a little drag. Use a 70 to get back to the ground off the cedar. Or walk off.

1st pitch was kinda awkward, and in some sense harder than the 2nd pitch. The belay is also awkward, but the 2nd pitch is really fun. A nice, fun, well protected, short crux.

Loved it

Had to be home by noon. This is a very fun climb. Not sure how to completely eliminate rope drag, other than avoid placing much gear.

Always a lot of fun. Has to be the softest 8 in the park.

Did you find spiderman and the Lizard? Someone is leaving totems around the climbs, two on Alphonse. Great climb, lots of bomber fun.

My partner led, and kicked out the nut protecting the crux as he pulled through. He would have gone for the ride if he had blown it....
