Ascent Notes for: Practice Climb - 5.3 popular Average Rating : 2.81/5

With Jose Ramirez

Really easy yet fun route. It is a great lead for someone who is new to the climbing world or someone who wants time practicing placing pro. Lots of places to shove all kinds of sized pro. Could probably place just about everything on a rack on this climb if you had to. O and my 3 year old son made itabout 20ft up this climb on his own.

I brought a group here two years ago and was 290 pounds. They all made it and all I could do was rap down and belay them like 3 at a time.. just kidding... but when it was my turn I got stuck in the crack and just couldnt get my belly to roll over it.. Today, we came back for a quick last climb, it was open and I made it like butter. Thanks. 12 year son belayed my and he climbed it in bare feet.

He was really interested in climbing, i really would like to get on some harder climbs soon!!

Fun, well protected

Great beginner climb with adequate protection

ran up the climb a few times even ryan knocked it out with ease(being a beginner). Its always fun to do something easy but i would really like to get out there and start doing harder climbs

Spiders, Snakes, Bring a rake.

5 made it like cake to the top with the bolted anchors for top toping. 2 didnt make it - 1 for fat reasons and 1 for fear of heights but both made it half way and then quit.

Hadn't planned on leading anything, but had a set of nuts, a set of tricams and some runners so figured what the heck. Guidebook lists it as 5.2, not the 5.3 shown here.
