Ascent Notes for: Moby Dick center - 5.10a popular Average Rating : 4.56/5

no need to run it out on the bottom
control and poise will allow one to get gear in to prevent a grounder, after that choose the gear and place it well

the climbing widens till all the large cams are used
hopping the cams and staying clam were the ingredient for
a good solid climb

not at one point did i feel out of my element
like the wide stuff

the anchors will allow for a top rope on ahab

not a fun climb wide and bulldogish

ran the start way out on the fingers and hands, then had to battle once the crack was taking 3.5's. Know what to work on now...

Great

Get good pro low. Upper section provides solid fist jams. I had to stack in a couple of places. Sustained 5.9. Two 60m to get off.

Great line!

long and sustained pitch for a crack novice like myself. I was ready for my water once I got to the top. Second pitch is an anticlimax, but the long rap off the other side is fun.

Thought the start was a bit stiff for .10a but not by much. The rest was pretty streight forward 5.8 hands to a short 5.9 fist section to the top. Couple finger pieces down low, two #1,s a #2 up higher and one number 4 C4 will do the trick as there are a couple good fixed pins protecting much of the route. Good into to OW climbing up an easy fist crack.

Thin fingers to not quite ow, but too big for fists. Make sure to bring at least one 3.5 camalot for the wide part.

Good climb, but I could have used an extra #4 for the top of the first pitch. Ended up just walking it all the way up with me.

Splendid! Love forearm jams
