Ascent Notes for: Bubble Bath - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.80/5

great moves, tricky gear initially. Take the bath!

Really enjoyed this climb, but had to hang on it a bit as my arms were blasted.

This one seems pretty runout when the going gets tough; there may be an alternate way to protect by going slightly right on the ledge to the big obvious jug and placing a piece above that in the back of the 10 inch wide ledge. Hard to describe but when lowering form the top you will see what I mean. Might be a good idea to do the 5.6 next to it just to get the gear beta on the rappel.

Bottom part is pretty pumpy, with sparse but adequate protection. Spicy little bit above the ledge, too! I think the 5.9 rating is in line for this area.

Really nice route. The face moves in the bottom third were the crux for me; balancy stuff using small pockets. But once I got to the first roof, I was on more familiar ground and didn't have any more trouble.

Nice route, a bit runout at the crux. Brass nuts are helpful.

Seconded this fun cruxy climb. Face is very balancy and takes finesse but all the holds are there. Feet don’t have solid placement but there is plenty of friction in several good depressions. The roofs have wonderful jam crack. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Little runout for the leader with ground fall potential on the second half of the climb.
