Ascents in Fudō Sawa

Off Width. The is route is one of the gate keepers that is a must do before you can venture into the world of OW. A real test piece for the grade.

This line would be much better if it was cleaned a bit. The scale and dirt on the route takes the edge of what could be a great slab route. If you don't like slabs stay away from this route. Pitch two of the climb feels much harder then 5.11c.

First attempt I climbed the roof crack and clipped the first bolt on the wall under the upper roof.

This is an awesome route that I will be back to try again, but first I have to develop a bit more finger strength to hold the thin edge under the upper roof.
