Ascent Notes for: Catharsis - 5.5 Average Rating : 4.36/5

An enjoyable climb. The runouts would be extreme if it weren't for the grade. Also, watch out for wasps. I almost got stung when placing a cam on the big ledge after pitch 2.

I would have loved to see my sweet second when she reached the chopped bolts I had slung with a nut and screamer!
Bring small TCU's and a diaper if you're not up to it.

Check the weather too! I wouldn't want to be on lead if it started raining.

very run out

This was one of my first multi-pitch lead climbs, and I got a bit intimidated by the long runouts. The climbing and view is great though.

the best 5.5 climbing i've been on to date. good exposure and heady leading. totally worthwhile experience.

Good climbing--not too hard--but poorly protected.

no comment

Was a great time, seemed a little harder than 5.5 though... Glad I wasn't leading, there are some pretty big runouts, but I'm a beginner, so pay no mind.
