Ascent Notes for: Popeye and the Raven - 5.10c Average Rating : 4.30/5

I love this slabby/stem/face action... good times

A lot of fun. I thought it was a little soft at the grade, hence the 10c grade on here.

One of my first 10d's; now downgraded. Great route

fun and a tad spicy. I thought this one was 10d when i first tried it. but after finding a real wide stem out on a crack i found this climb very easy. def a 10c which is the local concensus. the squamish select is a typo.

.

Stemming is the key to this one.
Pushing and pulling with the hands, stemming with both the legs and the arms.
I loved this climb, ti's the 2nd time I have done it now. I loved it when I did it for the first time last year too.

One of my favourites, totally enjoyed this route, even if it was on top rope. Too difficult for my partner on the day to lead.

the left wall was to wet to stem at the bottom when I climbed this route

Fantastic moves, very thin and balancy. Came back and lead this a few years later (9/1/2010) - still just as much fun!
