Ascent Notes for: crack of doom - 5.11c Average Rating : 5.00/5

Soooo close to the onsight, oh well its good enough to do twice, hell its good enough to do every day. GREAT ROUTE, possibly the best crack ive climbed in the city. top is pumpy!

i dreamed of onsighting, didn't think i could. thanks to mark weber's belay, and those gang-ropers wanting me to fail, i did.

broke my heel earlier in the week when a hold broke bouldering. belayed my friend the rest of the week till the last morning we were there. Fell a couple of times on first go, waited 15 mins and sent it, broken foot and all. great route, fun start

Either this route is sandbagged or evidence of severe grade inflation... The bottom is pissed.

Damn near got the on-sight, but not quite. One fall. Bizaar sequences start the route to gain a semi-stance below a very thin corner/crack. Make a difficult sequence (this was were I fell) to gain a good finger lock. From the next 60ft the climb settles down to 10a to 10d at various points along the way. I was pumped out of my mind when I got to the shuts.

One of the best routes in the City! I was horible on my onsight attempt, but got it second go.

I got fully bouted on this climb five years ago. Came back this year to set things straight. The best crack pitch I have ever climbed.

YEAH!

I saved this climb for an onsight for over a year. like, I looked at it last year, decided not to do it, and put it offf for like six subsequent trips, just because I really wanted the ascent to be perfect, eh? although, I did boulder half of the bottom part before climbing it. not sure if this nullifies the onsite or not...
