Ascent Notes for: Caffeine*** - 5.11a popular Average Rating : 4.14/5

as much fun as the route to the right and left. The moves were somewhat interesting with the dihedral, but I ended up going off route towards the .13a. You use the dihedral more for your feet and there's a mono pocket for your right hand at the top.

Sustained and technical, one of my favorites at Echo.

Been climbing this excellent 11b route on nearly every visit to Echo Cliffs. Finally redpointed it. I might be a little stronger, but I think mainly it was the longer-than-usual rest I took near the top at the start of the dihedral part.

Great route...toughest/most technical move is getting past the first bolt above the junk ramp. Rest of the way there are some technical spots but it is then more strength than technique. Great route. 11b in the guidebook.

i thought one of the clips was kind of odd. the climb itself was fun.

I enjoyed my extra hour of daylight at Echo Cliffs! Broke off a huge rock though. Everyone bring your brain buckets and watch out.

take the time to do this one. long climb with a serious of varied technical moves. one of the best in the area.

Kick A$$!
