Ascent Notes for: WarPaint - 5.10c Average Rating : 4.80/5

way cool, honestly, thought easier than Endgame, I like slab now..,

fell at crux, led 2 & 4

this climb lives up to its billing as a classic. great stuff.

n/c

That is the proper way to describe the pitch 1 crux. Anyway, nice route. We did the steep right variation at the top--probably 11 B at most places. TAKE CARE--the huge block at the top and left moves when touched!!

It is a great climb worth doing twice.
We did the alternate finish straight up the chicken heads to the top. Bring slings for the alternate finish on pitch 5 go right and straight up to the top. You will need to build a anchor hear. Rap chains are down and left . Cool Route.

A masterpiece for Fazio and Kerry, I'd like to know which bolts they added after the first ascent. The best route I did during a two week stay at Cochise, sustained climbing on tips and toes. I don't know how to put letter grades on any pitch, they all felt like legit 5.10 to me though. Climbed with Ursasaur and led every one of these exciting pitches. I'm calling this a trad line because it's hard to imagine working this like a sport route.

first big climb as a free man! (well, out of the Marines-style free:) started on the wrong climb and flailed. got on the right one and soared!! such a sweet view! sweet smelling air!

Beanfest 07 presented great opportunity to go get er done. Wish there were less bolts and more crack....

Stellar bolted multi-pitch with a little crack thrown in! Trad climbers should do this one! Check my updated route info for full beta. I finally blew holes in my Mythos on this route...after 3 1/2 years of climbing regularly in them. (What can I say, I am light on my feet???)
