Ascent Notes for: The Hammer - 5.8 Average Rating : 3.38/5

fun lie back approach to the crux, with an easy chimney like section. Fun crack at the top, or you can maneuver over and slab climb around the crack

good

Stem!! If the initial description is referring to ledge in upper pitch, Stem, stem, stem. Makes crux pretty mellow and good stances for pro placements, elemenating ledge danger.

The beginning can be accomplished by a few lie-backs and a little bit of tight mantling on the interim pillars, but the rating needs to be re-adjusted as the rock quality has been reduced to near nothing with a lot of the cracks being pushed down to almost glass with chalk staining the rock itself.

Good Top Rope route. Easy start to a big ledge, tricky finnish. Easy Top Rope setup.

Rated 5.8 in Weekend Rock

great lead practice

Went back and lead this on 22-Sep-2007. Nice hand jams with a thought-provoking move or two.
