5.11c Hard | Rampage - with Karen | Crap | ||||
Gets my vote for worst climb at Horne Lake lol Had walked by it for years and should have kept walking by it. Not sure if there is better beta but I ended up campusing the crux and trying way too hard on slippery soapy feet ha ha

Orange Wall | ||||||
5.10 ~5.10+ | ★★★ Unknown - with Karen | 25m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
My vote for best 5.10 at Horne Lake! It starts on slightly chossy rock, but then it becomes 25 meters of chert band climbing on amazing rock!

5.6 | ★★ Love Handle - with Karen | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
5.10d ~5.11b | Boner - with Karen | Average | ||||
It looks like this climb had been modified from the original 10d. It now goes straight up through a reachy thin section 3/4 of the way up, rather than where the old bolts were through a really chossy section that would have been easier.

5.10b | ★ Tennis Anyone | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
A little green and damp at the top.
|
||||||
5.10c | ★★ Gleefully Grabbing Granite | 22m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
This is a really great climb!! Although it could use at least 1 more bolt as the crux between the 4th and 5th because it is a little run out by today's standard. A 10c climber would most likely find this climb intimidating.
|
||||||
5.10b | ★★ Guttersnipe | 20m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really great climb! Watch out for the wasp nest between 2nd and 3rd bolt right behind the jug!
|
||||||
5.10a | ★★ Eavesdropper | 20m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pleasurable climbing. Climbed using only draws, no trad pro.

Murrin Park Betazoid / The Milkman's Wall | ||||||
5.11d | ★★ Beat the Clock | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Sharp! Messed up the crux first go and got it on the second. This felt harder to me than Betazoid... Maybe it was because it was the last climb of the day, the top was super dirty, or I didn't take a rest after my first burn.... Hmmm which excuse do I want to pick ha ha
|
||||||
5.12b | ★★ Betazoid | 10m, 3 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
So fun!! 1st go figured the beta out, 2nd go it went down. Kinda wished it was twice as long...

We did the 5.8 first pitch as a warm up last week,. So today we did Death of a Tradman 10a as the first pitch and linked it with the 11d second pitch. The 11d is excellent!
|
||||||
5.10a | ★ Death of a Tradman | 27m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
We linked this as the first pitch with the 11d second pitch of La Vaca to make it a great 36 meter climb!
|
||||||
5.11a | ★★★ Two Pump Chump | 57m, 11 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Sooooooo much deliciously fun climbing to be had when you link the 2 pitches into one 160 foot route! Warning: when linking both pitches and the climber is on the lighter side, our new 70m rope barely made it to the sub anchor and I had to climb up to the first bolt so my partner could access the anchor.

IMO it is one of the best moderates in EPC! It's such a fantastic climb!
|
||||||
5.11b | ★★ No Habla Espanol | 29m, 12 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Neat climbing,. It felt like a tough finish for 11b, but could be because it was the last climb of the day.

5.10a | ★★ Jesus Amarillo | 30m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good fun. Unfortunately the a hot bolts have been removed, so you have to rappelling on the climb to the left. Not a huge deal, but annoying.

Watchtower Lower Tier | ||||||
5.11b | ★ Grand Slam Special | ★ Good | ||||
I wasn't expecting the large dynamic move from the pockets to the flake. Maybe if you completely avoid that section by going way right I could see it being 11a. Being short would definitely increase the grade on this climb.
