Ascent Notes for: Joe's Crack - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.00/5

Bryon is already super confident and taking his leading to the next level. I can lead 5.9 but feel a bit sketched in trying to lead this one yet. Maybe next summer!

I really enjoyed this climb!

A stiff fun 9 route (finger jams, hand traverse, walk)

kinda screwed up the onsight doing it on a wet day at the start of the season on a particularly weakmo day.

.

Used my chin to help pull myself up on the mantle finish. Not graceful but still made it.

Quite fun with tricky cruxes. I ended up walking on the crack, then switched half way to a hand traverse, then finished by walking on it again.

Finally "walked" the crack, and it's much easier that way. The mantel at the top felt more secure this time too.
