Ascent Notes for: Body Wax - 5.12b Average Rating : 4.06/5

big move. boulder at my back. wet top. no chains. fun if liposuction bores you. did it in 2008 sometime and never looked back.

Fun, short, bouldery route that's really not my style but still fun. Regarding the safety rating, just have a good belayer and don't blow the clips and you'll be fine. A friend gave me some excellent short person beta that I really like. It likely makes it a bit harder but it fits me better.

I didn't get the top-out because it was soaking wet.

2 Nov 13: Sent with the top-out. It was still wet and the right hand felt like sticking your fingers in a bowl of pudding but I wasn't as pumped as the time before and was able to get to the cave to find a huge snake skin in there. Kind of cool but kind of gross (the snake skin and the pudding hold I suppose).

Awesome short sequence leading up to a big super fun throw!

Really fun bouldery climb. almost the whole thing is overhung. would like to do over a mondo.

short route with fun dynamic move!

V4/V5 thing. Lots of fun, the R rating is a bit much, as long as you aren't getting a noob to belay or someone who's just eaten a bucket of greasy fried chicken you should be fine. Even if you did deck you aren't falling very far and are looking at maybe a sprained ankle assuming the rope didn't slow down your fall whatsoever.

great route, short but full value, great movement

All the holds, feet and moves are there. just have get the endurance to link it all up.

FUN!

Good stuff
