등정들 Sierra Nevada에서 Red point로서

Remove the X maybe up the grade to 5.10 ambiguous

Glad to have ticked this. Thanks Blair for the recommendation

Lots of dirt and choss lower down leads to 3 or 4 beautiful pitches of climbing. Then the rock quality turns to shit as you approach the summit. Skip the last 2 pitches and take the easy escape instead.

First of the grade in the final few days of the trip. What a stellar route. Very excited to have finally put it all together after a few too many falls where I shouldn’t have.

super fun

No real stopper move but super sustained and pumpy. Redpoint cause I decked under the first bolt on the first shot haha.

Awesome technical bouldering for the first 4 bolts with a ferociously pumpy headwall finish! Awesome. 2 or 3 days and lots of attempts to sort out the low bouldery section.

First RP burn after a beta lap or two the other day. Terrific!

Stellar finger locks, super polished feet.

Ground up over seven days and then we camped on top and hiked down on the eighth day. We pre-hauled to Hollow Flake Ledge, took two rest days, and then went up the route. Some nice Germans fixed the lines off Heart to above the Hollow Flake for us so we didn’t climb those pitches on our pre-hauling day and preserved our ground up as much as we could. We also didn’t do the Free Blast before our ground up attempt which was cool and definitely added to the experience. I top roped the Monster because I got tired of whipping from the move into it all the way back into the Ear in the dark at 5am and then gave the reigns to Jesse who fired it and then I followed. I top roped the Enduros because we didn’t do them first go and I also took the stance at the no hands ledge on the move off heart. These are my asterisks, do with them what you will.

I will probably write something more when my brain and body decide to work again.

Best thing i’ve ever done!

Awesome route, burly at the start.

2nd go. hidden crimp rail above mantle.
