Ascent Notes for: She's no dog, she's my wife - 5.11b popular Average Rating : 3.60/5

The bottom is bouldery and hard. Moving over number I find to be the hardest part. For tall people it may be a bit easier. I found a fingertip crimp that I can use to pull myself up on. If it wasn't for this crimp I wouldn't have been successful on the climb. The rest of the climb is pretty easy but it takes a little bit of a commitment getting over the little bulge.

beta intensive start. Chains at top so bring extra draws and know how to clean!

powerful first couple moves, easy slab after second bolt

1st time really working out the first two starting moves. Watch for poison ivy at the base.

Redpoint soon.

...eases up after the 2nd bolt

This is basically a V2 or V3 boulder problem with some easy 5.8 climbing afterwards.

The first few moves are pretty tough but it's a cakewalk after the crux (which I thought was pretty tricky to figure out). I love the bolt placement, I feel very safe climbing this one.

I had a lot of difficulty starting out on this route but after the second bolt you can just cruise up. There is one really great grip after the first bolt that is crucial.

nice starting holds
