Ascent Notes for: Stab in the Dark - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.50/5

The start is adventurous, but low enough that you can just hop back onto the starting platform if you blow the move. Once you see the trick the rest of the climb goes down very smoothly. 2nd bolt was a spinner, so heads up.

Id say the start is a 5.10c and the rest is maybe a 5.10a....the crux is definately getting off the ground on this one but once youve figured the moves out its smooth sailing on pretty big bomber holds to the top! If you are going to TR this one I would reccomend rapping in and clipping a draw on the second bolt to avoid the swing and sawing your rope on the sharp rock jutting out to the left of the climb!

.

The upper section is much nicer than the bottom.

Seems hard for the grade. Sketchy bolt placement at 4th bolt... Don't fall making next clip! Check the nut on first bolt. It was almost completely off.

Cool climbing though. Just kinda sketchy protection.

Great from there though

Tricky start. Route seems underated.
