Ascents in World by Brandon Workman

4 stars!

top 3 cracks ive ever climbed, simply wonderful.

sequence hands up top, pretty sustained 11a, super fun

sweeeet!

left hand undercling, right hand weird sidepull thingy (lean in and slightly dynamic for left hand jug, the rest is straight forward

gritty start tricky step over,dont miss the knob out right

I didnt enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Awkward, but demanded good technique

A tough little move down low, red alien and then .50, two or three #3's, 3 or four # 2's, 2 or 3 #1's, and another .50 for the top. I was so pumped after gold rush I didnt stand a chance, I would like to try this one earlier in the day, no real hard moves, just really pumpy after 3 other Trout Creek cracks

Nice varied climbing, long pitch with a couple cruxy sections. The top out was the harder part for me. Sequence hands differently next time

Rattly

Nice

beautiful finger crack, funky gear

this should have some stars. two cuxy sections, the 2nd a sustained roof, knee drop helps control the barndoor when moving left into the crack/seam

Start on the left, direct is way hard. keep your eyes open and climb to the rests.

bump left hand at start, then slap right hand and step up

Very strange back handed back to the wall press out to a reachy jam then fun pull around the corner. I went through the crux fine and then ran out of gas at the juggy finish. Use the jugs out right not the big flake jug out left.

Heady lead which luckily I didnt have to do. A fun one to toprope but It is a tough lead. Bring some small wires or RP's. Kind of blind placements

was fun, albeit slippery

#1 camalot at the roof, awkward above there, face crack didnt feel as bad as the bottom section. Ass kicker for the grade.

Fun stuff

surprisingly good, the bush is not in the way

Its a tuff one, especially when a little damp

Finished it up and the top pitch is great. 2nd roof is tricky. Im not sure what grades have been given but I felt like it went as follows, Lamplighter 1st pitch 11a step over to move belay 5.7 Over roof follow bolts 11a Follow more bolts using arete 5.10b/c More bolts through the awsome double roofs 11b/c Great route

Chimney above is not as dirty as it looks and you can stem around the moss and wetness. Getting to it I climbed the offwidth because both it and the hand crack to the right of it were soaked and I felt more secure in a wet offwidth than a hand crack. The next pitch I first tried the 11c var. but got a little spooked traversing over to the sling. The move doesnt seem too bad but the fall would be nasty. Its a little like the sensless thoughts var. lower down, the 10c var. was really nice though and you can protect the horizontal crack nicely. Then fun face/crack climbing above. The final pitch had some steep juggy features but gets pretty run out and it was wet right on the key hold so I clipped the bolt and went up a few feet and then went hard left traverse through some loose blocks to the top. All in all a fun addition to Davis Holland. The pitches are much better lower down on Davis Holland. Ive heard climbers compare this route to the Grand Wall in Squamish. In my humble opinion it is a great route but doesnt come close to The Grand.

good warm up

go all the way left, then make clip. Nice pitch very very varied

One of the best backcountry routes ive done.

might be ok if it saw a little traffic, 2nd pitch is pretty long about 140ft or so but not very sustained after the first 50ft. Dont bother with the last little pitch. There is some potential for a short variation here.

nice climb but like silver surfer awkward and slippery

first nut placement is smaller than first thought. Blue omega. Remember that where it feels a little flared up top it will soon give you a nice pinch then easier finish.

both this one and zoe are a really sweet pair right off the trail

a little ledgy but a fun move up top

bring the feet up before you crimp and pull!
