Ascent Notes for: Church Bowl Tree - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.63/5

fell 2x on the second aid lead of this trying to beat pr of 30min!

Finger cracks are definitely my strong suit. The mini-ledge just under the bolts and the traverse left was the crux for me. Small holds with bad feet made it tricky but having clipped the anchor, there was no mental game on the move. Glad to have onsighted a my hardest trad route and to have it be in yosemite!

easy access.

can be aided using only cam hooks and hooks (for the middle wider section)

only as slick and greasy as everyone says at the very bottom

greasiest climb in the valley

awsome fingers in pin scars with balancy top after chains

Slick, fun finger jamming in pin scars on a vertical face. Takes stoppers really well.

Climb this when it is cool out - got very greasy once the sun was on it and sweat was flowing.

There are 2 bolts between the chains and tree now, but that is some tough slab work. I went left for the crack where there is a nice juggy hold, but be ready for a long swing if you fall.

Also saw the bobcat.

Awesome climb! Nice lead by Eric. Saw a bobcat a the base.
