Ascent Notes for: The Honeymoon - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.38/5

backed off after 2nd bolt- a combination of jitters, hot temps, and a fair runout between bolt 2 and 3

Great climbing.

This was my first time to Table Rock proper; my partner and I were looking for Jim Dandy to give him a relaxed first multi-pitch experience. I bumbled on this climb, thinking it looked pretty easy from the bottom - we ended up with an exciting onsight and a sweet routefinding experience, linking the top of Honeymoon to the third pitch of Rip Van Winkle and the fourth pitch of Hidden Crack.

Thought this route was a blast. The slab section was exciting, but very well protected. Don't get on this if you don't like slab. I believe it is a solid 5.8, just have to find the good crimpers and mounds for feet.

Long route with varied climbing. Definately worth a go

Fun and sweet crack climbing, then turns into face. A little scary but good opportunity to work on balance.

I loved the start but once it turned to face climbing I was a little worried. A bit spacey between bolts, then again I really like to sew it up on my trad leads. Belay ledge was a bit awkward, would love to to to climb up and out.

Definately need a two ropes to make it down, maybe a 70 would reach.

Definitely worth it. Bring two ropes to rap down.
