Ascent Notes for: The Ladder. - 5.10d Average Rating : 3.82/5

In 1986 this was a tr or a solo A really good route

Crux at the last two bolts before anchor.

Also, forgot two BD posiwire quickdraws at the top at end of day. If you grabbed them, it would be great to get them back. Beers are on me :-)

No way the moves past the jugs were 5.9. At least not the way we did it. The guide book we had said it was 5.11b. Maybe .10d is a happy compromise? Whatever, we found ratings in this whole area to be all over the map.

the route is fun, I have an old guide book but im pretty sure based on climbing it and the guide books I have seen this route is a 5.9

Crux was definently at the end. Had to move right to find descent holds.

missed a hold the first time. I was too cocky...
