Ascent Notes for: Blood, Sweat, and Chalk - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.54/5

Top-roped to the final bolt below anchors. Lead one tough move to anchors.

awesome climb, thins out tward the end.

Great climb...one of the tougher 5.9s I've ever climbed - mostly because all the hard moves are at the top. First half of the climb is 5.7/5.8; once you get to the first roof it clearly ramps up a bit, especially on lead.

I was exhausted after this one!

Waited til the end of the day, and pumped out on this sweet, steep face

The route has 2 nice ledges to rest on and you'll need it for the finish. The last 2 bolts has thin holds, feel around. The finish has a huge jug so be thankful!

super awesome line! perfect for a warmup.

Great climb! Long, lots of bolts on gorgeous looking rock.

longest lead i've done... scared the hell out of me. no falls. whooooo!!!!!

Joe Piazza, Tyler Garmin, Jonathan Humbert...Long Route
