Ascent Notes for: Marys Crack - 5.8 Average Rating : 3.50/5

Climbed with Cody. Had him lead p1 since I have done it before; lead the standard p2 exit this time, which I had never done before. Brought my #4 but didn't use it, although it could be placed. The OW was fun and interesting and really warms you up on a cold, overcast day. Like most Schoolhouse Rock routes, this would be a wonderful route if there weren't 100 feet of 5.nothing slab in the middle.

Really only 2 moves in 3 very short pitches that rate 5.8. Rest is an easy walk. Still, lots of fun and great scenery. Walk off to the left from the top and scramble back down.

One bolt at first belay, but backed it up as it looked old.

Most seem to do this with 3 short pitches, but the first two may be able to be connected with a 70m rope (maybe even a 60). The crux is the brief off-width crack (actually, the crack on the face to the right of the OW is where to go). Other than this, there is a lot of low-angle slabby stuff with your choice of seams if you'd prefer.

Fun

easy than short OW section than easy.

We only did first pitch due to an afternoon thunderstorm setting in. I hope we come back and finish it.

honestly couldn't tell a difference in grade between Mary's Crack 5.8 and and Kindergarden crack 5.5
