Ascent Notes for: Super Nova - 5.11a Average Rating : 4.11/5

No comment

Good route. Pitches 2 - 8 are a tad run out offering bolts 15 - 25 feet apart with a first bolt as high as 25 feet out of the belay station. But the climbing is easy so its not too big of a deal. Just dont fall on the upper pitches! Linked pitches 6 and 7 with a 70m. The worst decision of my life. The drag was horrible. Dont link those pitches unless you put a 2 foot sling on every bolt.

Super Nova

fun, stout first pitch and then a ladder. Plenty of better multipitch routes to be had with better views, exposure, and rock.

Partner and I used it to get our simulclimbing technique down in prep for timewave zero.

Cool climb with my friend Pepe Zarate

Aside from a stout first pitch the rest of this was a ladder. None of the other pitches really felt harder than 5.7. For a real quick ascent do 2 pitches at a time and simul-rap with two 70 meter ropes (3 rappels total). Save the hassle of throwing your rope(s) into the bushes and ocotillo by flaking them onto a sling for the rappels.

Great Climb
