Ascent Notes for: Preparation H - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.27/5

great route. Lead all pitches. This route most likely can be done in two pitches with a 70m rope

much better start! with this pitch it makes the climb a little more sustained cause i thought p2 of haystack was only a one move wonder. lead pitches 1 and 3

definitely the better variation of haystack way fun well protected corner

In the top three of my favorite pitches I did at Lover's Leap. Never did the first pitch of Haystack, but I imagine Preparation H is the way to go. It climbed, and protected very well, and was varied. (From what I hear, pitch 1 on Haystack is too easy. . .make it trickier by climbing this one!)

More interesting 1st pitch variation to Haystack. Fun pitch.

preparation H is what you need...

that makes no sense. fun route. pretty much a variation of haystack if someone is already on it. a few mini roof moves that keeps things interesting, but hemorrhoid free.

did it

This was a good route. Dosn't get the traffic of the other east wall climbs so it's not all chalked up, bit of vegetation too. It got my blood pumping and kept me focused. Really a nice pitch.

Nathan led all pitches (i had just led the line - his turn!). Those roofs on haystack are sick. Hrummy for 5.8, but not technically harder than that.
