Ascent Notes for: Dappled Mare - 5.8 popular Average Rating : 4.15/5

none

We did this as a two pitch with a 60. Use smart rope management and you'll be fine. Good morning route, but very popular.

Fun multiP. Start was challenging. Combined first two Ps.

Combined with Bird on a Wire for laps on the way before finishing off a short winter day back at Intersection Rock. Very warm south facing wall. First pitch (short solo) is 5th class if even. Second and third pitches are enjoyable climbing. Best way to finish is on Bird on a Wire, taking the right option at the very top. Makes for another decent pitch that way. With Joe K.

Finished on DM from Bird on a Wire

Once we finally found the start of the climb. The first 15 feet are by far the most difficult; don't let it deter you, the second pitch is terrific fun.

The first fifteen feet is the crux of the route then it is pretty casual. A 70m rope might be useful for the last pitch as I only had 15' left on my 70. Could probably be done in two pitches by combining the first two pitches.

Nice climbing. Just be careful of the rope drag on that traverse. Super fun climbing though. Just lead the last pitch.

Followed Peter.
