Ascent Notes for: Treebeard - 5.8 Average Rating : 3.58/5

suited me fine. Could have used more red cams!

I have the perfect sized hands for this route. Love it.

Great beginner trad and crack climb, easy placements and even has anchors at the top

top roped it but almost had to lead it, but my partner got up it on the second attempt. Perfect foot jam crack.

Great Route, fun moves throughout, good stances for pro. Was a little wet up top, but well worth it. Get ye to fangorn!

climbed it in 30 degree weather.
i thought it was a little easy for a 5.8 crack.

Pretty crack. A #3 camalot will fit anywhere on the route.

This was my first 5.8 trad lead and it gave me a good scare, but enjoyed it non-the-less. I wish I had a sack full of #3's for this route. Protection was rather difficult too, seemed to be hard to find good constrictions to place cams in.

Definitely a 5.8 climb though. Don't listen to the 5.7 sand baggers ;)

Belay positions suck, especially if you are going to be taking a lot. Suggest to protect low enough to keep both of you from going down the hill, if something goes wrong. BONUS: TECHNIQUE--> the hand jam technique with the back of your hand totally against the surface of the rock and pressing you fingers against the wall, then squeezing your thumb to your palm to increase the meat size on the thumb. No taping is required on this route using this. Seconded this route no problems. I will be back once I have started leading trad. It is a good trad lead.

awesome climb, I loved this route did it on trad two times in a row
