Ascent Notes for: Birdie Party - 5.10b popular Average Rating : 4.43/5

A beautiful day today. No helmet=no leading. bummer

St Paddy's day climbing. Fun climb.

Followed Brad84 up this in 2007, finally got around to leading it myself. What an outstanding route with fantastic moves from the ground to the GT. The hand traverse that ends pitch 1 is ridiculous, and the roof crux of pitch 2 is great athletic climbing. The bolt anchors midway up the first pitch are useless, really should be chopped, as should the absurd 70m toproping anchor (4 old cams) just above the roof on pitch 2.

Lots of fun moves between BIG horizontals.

Thin face between great horizontals. I think it's time for me to lead this one.

HIgh step, reach for the horizontal, high step, reach for the horizontal. Rinse, wash, repeat. Nice climb with a thin opening set of moves.

NIce, but, cold in the fingers. Face climbing between big horizontals

I should try and lead this. Thin face climbing is NOT my forte. But, the moves are all there.

Felt that I could lead this. Nice climb. Good moves, lots of high steps to horizontals. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Gray Dick calls P2 a 10b. The roof is hard; heel hook left foot and pull like a mother to the horizontal. it's burly and very much my kind of climbing. Great pitch.
