Ascent Notes for: One hand clapping - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.50/5

pretty awkward, hard 5.9

rapped down and TRed Firecracker.

Kind of runout with bad fall potential but definitly worth it.

I will have to come back to finish the route.
(Edit). climbed again on 7/14/13 (almost after doing only P1).
Outstanding route. Did it in 4 pitches although 3 pitches should be the way to go you belay at second set of anchors making a long P1. After the "mental 5.9 crux" over the bulge we belayed right at the comfy ledge. I thought the crux of the route was the finger section, but that's just me. For the last pitch we decided to go straight up (Fascination 10c). It was hard, committing, and a little tricky on pro in a small section. However, me and my partner agreed that we would not have done it any other way! Cool finish for a great route.

Simuled this with my partner, a really easy and locker route.

One of the better climbs I've done.
Pitch 1: 5.7-5.8 twin cracks
Pitch 2: Well-exposed crux. Had to swing feet around and into thin air to a knob. Super fun.
Rapped after this pitch. The rest of the route didn't look that great in comparison.

Done this route so many times I cant even count.

Soloed many, many times over the years.

That route was a blast. This was one of the first crack climbs I've done, and I think my technique has gotten a lot better. The crux off this route was crazy exposed, but soo much fun. Beautiful view at the top!!!
