Ascent Notes for: Double Helix - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.33/5

Layback for the win.

Do the boulder variation with a few aliens to make it a fun 5.10. PG13 cause the aliens are tiny, and you may hit the ground.

Gets my vote for favorite lead in Massachusetts. Takes great gear and the climbing is even better. Leading it is fun, doing toprope laps might be even better.

A good top rope, but a better lead. Great gear and it's just as difficult on lead as on T.R.

an absolutly outstanding route. crux was certainly the jam section in the middle, but I had a rough time with the final corner due to the humidity turning my hands into a disgusting mess of chalk paste and sweat and the fact that I tore the toe box out of my left shoe. a lot of the credit should go to my brother for not letting me down despite the excruciating foot pain (I couldn't walk for about an hour after it, and as usual I had to bend my arches back into shape). the top section was a bit dirty, but that was probably due to all the rain we've had in the previous 3 days
