Ascent Notes for: Sail Away - 5.8 popular Average Rating : 4.25/5

This was a blast. I didn't find a crux...it's super easy. You can sew the crack up with passive gear. You don't need anything larger than a 2. Lots of fun. Chains at the top.

Very cold breeze day, so we had the Tower all to ourselves.

Fun. Try the direct start for some extra difficulty.

I've been wanting to get on this one for a while, so sweet for the grade. I love that the top is just about vertical for about 25 feet, but the jams are SO good.

Add in a fun bouldering problem by starting from the ground. And as always, throw a high heel hook at the topout to step up the gnar-factor!

a must do.

Great!

Nice finger crack with the crux up high. Protects well, definitely bring multiple .5-.75. Really fun and pretty accurate JTree rating.

Some subtle balance moves on this one, muscling through is not the best option. Excellent position and climbing; bring extra .5 and .75's.

Don't forget to play this Kansas tune in your head while leading it.....great hand crack. One of the best single pitch clinic cracks to teach on in my opinion. Takes loads of gear. Wild Wind not as sustained or long, but worth doing as well. With Joe K.
