Ascent Notes for: Bony Fingers - Direct Start - 5.11a Average Rating : 4.33/5

Aided through the direct face start to get to the sick carck. Though the guide marks the first pitch as having 10b, I thought it was easier than the "5.9" on the last pitch that turns to painful tips.

Though it's fairly desperate, this is the better option. You can aid it if you're stumped by the face moves (actually harder for tall people).

The start is delicate. A difficult tension move. Especially after my partner blew off one of the main holds.

Awesome route!! Super clean rock, a great line.

The start is thin and steep and kinda committing to place your first piece. We broke it into 3 pitches and I would recommend that since it runs around the corner.

An incredible route. We did it in three pitches instead of two. It would be hard to avoid a lot of rope drag with two pitches. Took a couple of falls on the first pitch before working it out.

Rappel 100' from bolts to a ledge, then again from a bush for the descent.

Maybe the second ascent after Gary Slate and John Aughenbauh's FA.
