攀登 of Blazing Saddles

Great little climb, glad Steve suggested I lead it instead of seconding. Do as one pitch.

5.10b, AF Clean, psycho roof

Linking both pitches is really rough at the top, came off pulling over the lip. I'd recommend doing it as 2 or just bring a lot of extenders and be relatively sparing with gear.

good around the roof

Linked the 2 pitches into 1. Had horrendous rope drag but worth the thriller

Accidently linked the p2 5.8 of boardline and strayed right at the ledge into blazing saddles p2, getting another 5.10a pitch ticked off. Was not a good idea, luckly it was easy enough to rap off a tree back the ledge, Jeff linked the final few meters of the 5.8 above the pitch with the next two pitches - making for an ultrapitch of arete, bolted and bottomless squeeze chimney peaking into desperate slab with hectic rope drag.

Great climbing! Bring a couple #4's and just keep bumping and pushing them all the way up the wide crack. It means you can bring a smaller rack. Save a .75 for the roof, then run it out to the anchors just past the lip.

Maybe the most intimidating .10b I've begun climbing into. Crux is technically pulling through the roof but really once you commit it's not so bad. Fun double cracks with lots of rests below. P1 is lame.

did the connection and was surprised to find one of my favorite pitches ever at the top
