Ascent Notes for: Yellow Ridge - 5.7 Average Rating : 4.43/5

I actually fell off the unprotected start today. Foot popped and off I went. I did the lower traverse (use the foot rail as a hand rail) and it was really great. Liked it much better than the high traverse.

A lot of everything on this climb. The last pitch may be a lower grade, but, it's very exciting and fun.

I missed the knee-bar this time!

A burly first pitch, a boring second pitch, but the third pitch is great and super fun. A must do.

loved that horn on the send pitch roof

Fun climb!

Gnarly start, intricate traverse, exposed ridge and spectacular exit. The Gunks at it's very best!

THis was a ton of fun...but...not for my leader. He linked all pitches and had lots of rope drag. Made it hard for him to belay me, it was the "second must not fall" scenario. Great climb.

where the money pitch is not the crux. The arete bit at the end is full value 5.5. you can easily link the second two pitches if you mind your drag.

Full-value 7 for sure. Have to take care in places.
