Ascent Notes for: Dream of Wild Turkeys - 5.10a popular Average Rating : 4.57/5

My first long route. Was high for days afterwards. Fun climbing the whole way. 10a traverse is closely bolted. Rope got stuck on 2nd rap, but party above us saved the day. Thanks.

p2 is excellent! No time for the whole climb due to a number of factors... long wait for a party of 3 in front of us was one. But that was somewhat expected. Get an early start, it's a super popular climb.

Only got to climb to the top of the 6th because it started raining on us. (i thought it never rained in Vegas!) Aside from being bummed that I couldn't get to the 10th pitch i loved it. The 10a pitches were very doable and definitely 10a. (although the offwidth pitch ate my #4 C4... super bummmer!) Even got to do a little space rappel while rapping off which was pretty fun. All in all, great route! i'm going to have to go back and finish it some time.

getting down sucked

Really fun climb, changes form 100% trad pitch to 100% bolted pitch. I had a great time and the weather was outstanding. Rapped off 7th pitch using Prince of Darkness anchors. Had no issues with rope getting stuck.

second multi pitch climb and it was scary. Hanging belays suck on the calf's but the climbing is really diverse and fun.

w/ Luis, great route

...

rope got caught once at pitch 9 anchors. pitch 10 was ok, 9 is better.

Best weather I have ever had back here. Perfect really, not too windy, great temp. Anybody not doing pitch 9-10 is missing out, pitch 9 is one of the better pitches. Pitch 7 was crimpy, particularly if you have a bad finger. Thought both traverses were tame, I led those....but the corner starting up pitch 3 was full on, had me huffing and puffing a little. Supertopo has the traverse on P 3 at 5.10, but it is not, it is the corner. The traverse has great feet all the way over to the base of 4. The traverse at 5 was no worries either. The short slab move at the top of 4 was the crux of the route, no question. Pitch 2 was fantastic climbing. I like Sour Mash as much.
