Ascent Notes for: Rat Race - 5.7 popular Average Rating : 3.75/5

Really fun climb. Gets slightly more challenging after the tree.

My first outdoor lead. Great place to learn, as your belayer sits in the shade of a tree.

Intimidating roof, but nice jugs and stemming makes it an easy 5.7. A classic!

Fun, easy trad lead. While intimidating, the roof turns out to be easily surmounted.

Fun first warm up climb over a series of two days of climbing.

Great time with beginer climbers

fun roof and easier than it looks

Fun first climb of the day. Roof is mostly a mental crux, easier once you are up there. Plug and go!

Helps to have some height for the roof bit. Jams are real solid once you turn the corner.

Definetely easier this second time around. Didn't have to lie-back the crack a few feet before the roof like I did last time. My partner, who led it, gave me some beta on getting over the roof, so after hanging a bit to pych myself up, I got over with little problem.
