Ascent Notes for: Jade - 5.12a popular Average Rating : 4.29/5

This enduro climb stayed elusive for a while - Stayed off it for a while and then probably because I always came to it after the projects. Sent this hanging the draws and was pretty surprised.

fun stemming to bouldery traverse on crimps to pumpy jug finish. bottom is frequently wet.

Sent second burn after a take. Pretty fun route.

I wasn't sure I'd ever send this route. Been getting on it for almost a year and a half. Harder than any other 12a, I've ever done, honestly felt harder than Rain Dance (just my opinion) and I know it's been given a 12a/b grade, for me it was 12b. :p

classic is all you need to know oh and your going to take the wipper!

fun

One hanged it on 10/10/10. Had previously followed it and led it once before this. Need to get a better rest under #4 then quickly move thru the remainder of the climb past #5 and 6 to the anchors. It's a pump. Moves are not all that hard or technical... it just takes some incredible strength and endurance.

Update: 2012/12/08: Although infrequently climbing this route, today I sent it no problem at all. Didn't even get much of a pump. :)

kind of a weird meandering line, but it's a great route nonetheless.

the bottom stays for a while after rain but that part is no problem anyhow.

One of the best climbs at Reimers.

I went out to help a friend project this one. Got on it just to get a taste of a 12. It's actually really pretty fun. Long, pumpy, and enjoyed the big air trying to work through the crux!

I'm gonna add this one to my project list. Really awesome moves.
