Ascent Notes for: Touch And Go - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.60/5

This is how I climbed it: P1 (flare on the right side of the Rat's Tooth. very strenuous with few rests. Take extra #2 or #3 Camelots to sew it up, or just move fast.) P2. Exit P1 traversing left and go up a nice hand crack up to a head wall. P3. Awesome finger section right of the start to a left corner and stayed there all the way to Lizard ledge. (a bit dirty but nice route).

my partner led this climb with the fear and strength in his wimpers to show much he has improved in crack climbing! all fingertips. But, his comment below shows how much of a dork he still is.

one of the more beautiful thin fingers i'd been on in a while. Solid rests and eats gear like a hungry hippo. Continue left up the corner because it's more fun that way.

The rat's tooth chimney proved to be a fine adversary. Could not figure out where the actual line was from there and ended up doing a series of variations and rappels looking for the right line.

done this one hundreds of times, numerous solos. FIrst did it on homemade nuts in the 70s. first pitch (rat's tooth) is the physical crux, 3rd pitch (lieback) is the technical crux.
