Ascent Notes for: Try Again - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.00/5

... but I had been on it once, eleven years ago. I didn't remember a thing about it, though. Anyway, technically, a redpoint. Great climb. But I will echo others' comments that I lugged up a #3 camalot for no reason. Found the stance to get gear after the roof to be very strenuous.

Don't read...Beta warning

Go up the right hand side of the slot, there are great crimp rails for little hands. Much easier than the slot.

I had to try again today. Strenuous crux. It's all about the feet.

All good until you hit the crux. Need to position your feet well if you are short. Nice big move to the v slot.

enjoyed playing peek a boo from the stance below the roof, then styling the crux...on top rope...

What's the deal with the rockfall on this route? Did it change the crux? It seemed maybe a bit stout for 10b and there's no place for a 3" cam as mentioned in other forums and in the Williams guide...

This felt super hard. Quite a bit harder than Co-Ex, in my opinion. Maybe I was missing something. I somehow managed to struggle through the crux, but it took everything I had to stay on and then recover afterwards. Absolutely no place for a 3" cam to back up the pin. I was a bit scared to fall on that pin, but that was probably what got me through it.

put on your move decipher hat... or get pumped and try again
a pin that everyone falls on. one of these days, it may go.

I had trouble on this last time. Remembered the roof beta this time and got it easily.

Unless you are a move ciphering god, you will probably have to try again.

This climb can be done such that there is very little brawn required. It's technical until you hit the roof, then it's a bit of brawn. Roof sequence is tough to figure out.
