Ascent Notes for: Holdless Horror - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.75/5

Fun route... Finally climbed it with E.H. after a failed attempt in the beggining of August (due to snow to almost the top of P1).
The descend is not bad at all, quite easy little or no water is running. (Went past the water into the tree line, and then back towars the base of the climb)
Climbed Dozier dome after finishing this one it's also a good one.

between the crack and the face, the view of Eichorn's from Lower Cathedral Lake is incredible, make sure to check it out after topping out.

good

dont bring anything larger than a BD C3 #3, protects the wide looking second pitch perfectly. Other spots protect with med to large stoppers.

The approach path is well-defined now. It looks just like a normal hiking trail. Prob bc the new ST ed has many more routes at Dozier.

The steeper sections of climbing was really nice and protectable. I managed to protect w/o a 4" but a 4" cam would have been useful. Two nut sets would have been better for me. However, the low angle 4th class wasn't too fun as it put a strain on your heel/achilles tendon.

The walkoff the backside was a pain. Not as long as Cathedral or Tenaya but not as short as Lembert. Once you get into the treeline, the descent trail is barely noticeable. We crossed a stream/waterfall (seasonal?) going down the slab twice to best follow the easier path down to the start of the climbs. KC.

Not. Fun adventure with a novice. Didn't need the big cams I brought. Did it again later this summer.

Nice climb with straight forward route finding. Led all 4 pitches.

I led the second and fourth pitch. Great name, climb, and beautiful view. Enjoyable walk off.

Super fun. Epic night out in the woods, though. Sixteen degrees, thank goodness for the campfire!
