Ascent Notes for: Nurdle - 5.8 Average Rating : 3.90/5

Followed then continued up another pitch; I think this is a different climb though.

this route is super fun

Fun climb! Steep for a 5.8, but a really great climb!

It felt fine for the grade.

SuperTopo says steepest 5.8 in the Valley and that could be right. A few awkward spots, my wife hated it :)

About it being better than Bishop's Terrace but it is fun. We combined P1&2. Great surprise mantle move towards the end. Definitely not a gimme climb

this climb is better than Bishop's Terrace in terms of a long 5.8. Wild climbing throughout including the well protected mantle towards the top (technically the 2nd pitch of Knob Job but c'mon which climb is it really?). Highly recommended, just watch yourself down low where there are a few thinking moves

Getting to the pod is the curx, just a couple awkward face moves with decent pro to get there. Once you get into the pod and can get hand jams the difficulty backs off to a perfect splitter 5.6 crack. Traverse left across the huge knobs at the top to Sherries crack or to the right to the anchors of Knob Job.

Great climb! The start was awkward but protected easily with small C4s. The middle section was great, just as I thought the climb was going to get scary it instead got just awesome and fun with sweet jams and great pro! I plugged my #4 too early and couldn't protect the fragile looking upper, but it was easy enough terrain with solid pro at the base of the wide so I didn't mind running it out a good ways. Natural anchor at the top was pretty decent and the medium-condition piton didn't hurt either.
