Ascent Notes for: Pikes Peak - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.50/5

...

I take everyone who hasn't climbed before up this route. Its got a few challenging moves at the top and bottom. The rest is just a ramp system. Great for beginners, but beware getting on this route can be challenging due to heavy traffic for the low grade.

nice easy beginner route

Nice and easy, the beginning is the crux with a few harder moves at the top.

no comment

lengthy with some rope drag,

I would maybe call this 5.8, but only because some of the moves shocked me. Yes its very smeary, and I guess much more smeary then I was expecting since I've done all the other routes on that wall, which really weren't. I guess if you go in with that knowledge, then yeah, I understand the 5.7 rating. Excellent route none the less. The tiny overhang near the top was fun.

This was a great route. I prefer more holds and less smearing, but it is a good route, and it very pretty.

Great climb not to busy early in the morning.

lower slab is pretty nice and finish is cool too
