Ascent Notes for: Dude Where's My Hammer - 5.11b Average Rating : 3.57/5

I did this one and War on Rugs with a friend of mine in the rain. I wouldn't have contested the 11b rating then, but I can believe that when it's dry it's easier. Tried not to beach-whale the top!

This route is really just a one move wonder. The crux is at the top.

I dare anyone to climb "Hysteria" out at the new wall and then this and say they're both 11b. I'd downgrade this to 10d personally. The start can be a little tough due to the high foot, and the end for the same reason. Fun climb though.

Beta spoiler...

The sharp cookie lefthand undercling is nasty, but right-foot high on previously used sloper, rock up on it. Reach the jugs.

Left hand undercling and then reach up

I like this one. Nice movement below the roof. Had a little trouble figuring out the sequence on the fly. Almost had an onsight, but ran out of gas humping over the ledge to gain anchor!

Second go, smoothed out beta; felt a grade or so easier ;)

nice climb.

2009, March 22: 14 months later I finally return. Explored it on the first return lead and then sent it on the second. Fun moves over the top. It's great to return and feel so much stronger over time.

2014: With more experience above this grade... Dude at 11b is very very soft.

No comment

Funky start , non obvious finish
