Ascent Notes for: Gandalf - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.11/5

Enjoyable and technical for the grade. Enjoyable day in the sunshine

This route will make you question the grade but never will you question choosing to do this route. Superb!

Finally send. I'd add a letter grade to the difficulty because I couldn't feel my fingers at all the rock was so cold. Had to look at my hands to make sure they were on the holds. I led p1 Toby took p2

Climbed with Scott. Led both pitches - fell again at the crux. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice . . . .

Michael led p1, I took p2. Slipped off following on the mantle move at the end of p1 - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Super high-quality route. Gotta go get it clean.

Say it with me now: Gandalfs GRIP, GRIP. Whatever.

Haven't touched stone in almost a year. Billy and I swapped on the first two pitches. Happy to be back.

Hot, humid, no chalk. Led p1 and 3.

Really great route with a little bit of everything. Can rap from the very top with a single 70m rope (BARELY reaches the bottom)

such a sweet route

2nd pitch is the best, series of 3 overhangs
