Ascent Notes for: walking dead arete - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.33/5

Can't beat the exposure on p2

Totally amazing rock. Lead all three pitches with Jim Curley in tow. No shirt day with Manny taking pictures from across canyon.

Good to warm up on and keep climbing, first pitch is the warm up with easy climbing and second pitch is a nice one to get you ready for some harder climbing. Did in one long pitch. Also did not know about the gear needed only brought quickdraws but still not skecth.

1st pitch fun. 2nd pitch harder with some airy moves. fun working the arete and going through the bulge.

lead first,follow Manny second,
awsome

After all this time finally got to lead this too. Hardly remember working the second pitch with Manny but....only used one nut to augment the bolts on first pitch. Second pitch more mental moves than physical. Bring a #2 for the flake on the last pitch

Did first pitch only. Fun arete. Crux getting thru last bolt.

Third pitch is short and not worth doing, IMO. Unless yer solid at the grade, I wouldn't run the first two pitches together. Mostly bolted: one set of cams up to #2, plus nuts.
