Ascent Notes for: Way Rambo *** - 5.12a popular Average Rating : 4.71/5

Dude, that route was Rambo, man.

no way dude, that route was wayyy Rambo.

Totally

Two tries to send this thing. I took a couple of falls at the crux with gear below on my first try. That kept it interesting! This was my first attempt to onsight 12a at The Creek.

unbelievable. leave most of those no. 2 camalots on the deck. bring .5's to ones. ringlock and enjoy

blah blah

toproped it clean, then sent it on lead the next month. I think I could have onsighted it.

I warmed up on this route with no more than a slight pump. I would call it 5.11B

Incredible route, may be my favorite pitch at the Creek. Plenty of amazing splitter climbing, but the 2 hand traverses are what make it truly special. On lead I pushed it to where it becomes #1.5 friend size, but struggled on that 10 foot section and on the final hand traverse to the anchors. Took another lap on TR but still couldn't get the whole thing clean, but I'm psyched to work on this route.

2nd try. Oh so close to the onsight. Really, really awesome route. Terrifying finish.
