Ascent Notes for: South Pacific - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.45/5

A cam almost stuck. And higher up, a pro caused huge rope drag--cost many blisters on my hand & lost times.

The crux was getting over the roof and into the finger lock crack. The move around the left side of the small roof was a little dicey, standard Quartz mindset.

We unroped this climb but continued on to the top of the mountain instead of Amazon's anchors. Fun and scary!

A good route, after the horrible Quartz slab start. All the hard moves can be protected, but take care too much gear and you could end up with a lot of drag. The funny little jam crack to finish adds a final touch. You feet go to sleep standing behind the flake to belay, making the walk down to the chains interesting.

Nice route, great for practicing gear placement.

1st time at Quartz

Not an easy route for new leaders

Lead.

From the top of Accidents Will Happen we traversed over to the base of the climb. My brother, Carl, led it and this time he didn't knock himself unconscious
