Ascent Notes for: Hogwild - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.81/5

Amanda led this, and it seemed pretty stiff for 5.7. Sustained, a little runout, and not great protection. I found it harder than the 5.9 next to it.

There's 3 bolts that could use longer slings. Otherwise some small crack exist - but still felt runout in places. Despite what supertopo says - I don't think anything larger than .75 would go. 70m rope just barely makes it to rap/tr - actually had have the climber solo a few feet to clip the belay in. Make sure to tie knots in the end.

It was a fun climb, though not quite the amazing status supertopo gave. A mix of styles, but mostly some small holds on horizontal dikes, a little balance-y

Climbed w party of 3. Best part was the crack at the top. I wish that crack was longer.

One of the better 5.7 climbs I've done. Pretty much 5.6-5.7 all the way.

FANTASTIC pitch! It's way harder than it looks from the ground. Bring small pro, and go for it!

Best 5.7 pitch I've done in '09. Clean rock, fun moves. Did with Yvan S. TR'd "Unknown" next to it. Kind of contrived 'cause it ends at same anchors for Hogwild.

hadnt really done trad much, so i was stoked that there were a few bolts i could clip without questioning my pieces. good n simple.

A fun mix of face and crack. On one runout between bolts, it was easy to protect with a small tri-cam--a regular cam would work too.

Good warm up for the other climbs nearby at Hogsback. Fun, but i do not remember it being super spectacular.

Second time on the climb, wasn't as awesome as the first, when I considered it an amazing 5.7. Followed Jen.
