Ascent Notes for: Creative Germs - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.33/5

felt more like a 5.8

Back at this little monster after a few years, and it was a very hard time for me again. Made it clean, but took a fifteen minute rest before doing it again. Second time, knowing where the holds would be, was easier but still not easy. I still do not believe this is 5.7: too thin, too vertical and back-sloped, no rest, long awkward holds hunting for something good enough to rely on to move up. No good anchor either. Best thing about it is that it is almost always open, especially if you rig from the lower dangerously sloped slippery deck.

Family Fun

Yeah, it looks like easy climbing, but then you relize you really have to hold on the whole climb to the ledge. Fun stuff though.

Although I've done this previously, this time it was only one time, because I was whupped. I took the same line as the Swiss alpinist, and he did not run up it either. Thin grips and poor feet with a bit of backslope and no resting, whew, that's all the 5.7 I can manage.
