Ascent Notes for: 35. Learning to Fly 10a variation - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.20/5

.

So i used the mono i guess which makes 10a? didnt use any flake or anything...im with kostik, found it much more difficult that the grade...

First lead fall doing the mantel, scared me enough to make the whole route tough. Went week later and redpoint.

The previous trip to Logtown, when I hangdogged on this route, I found the mantle into a tiny little triangle area in the middle of this climb, to be almost impossible. I just barely managed to get it after hanging on it like 5 times in a row. I just had to decide to commit to a scary potential fall.

Boy, things are different on lead! I climbed it clean on the first try on top-rope and didn't remember a single hard move. Decided to lead in a week later, and discovered two cruxes-- a scary mantle and a reachy move on the top. Redpointed on second try (third if counting top-rope). I guess it isn't so scary and reachy after all.
