Ascent Notes for: Rebel Without a Pause - 5.11b popular Average Rating : 4.00/5

fun and powerful (but short) climb. I find it to be true to grade, but softens up once you sort out some key moves.

** be careful not to Z clip the 3rd, as i have seen a few do this when clipping low.

short and sweet

I chickened out and hang dogged it. Its not very hard once the moves and holds are figured out.

had seen some Czech climbers working this years ago while I was on a trip here. i remember thinking how cool it would be to climb it. now it was finally my turn on a return business trip where I could get out for one day. great moves, but way over-chalked unfortunately and is unlikely to get cleaned by mother nature. half the onsite attempt was figuring out what marks to use versus avoid. lots of sucker holds chalked up. not a difficult climb at all.

RP the second run after learning of the undercling.

well protected and fixed anchors.

I guess it gets the grade because it's steep.

Love the route, but definately soft. Probably has the grade because of "pump" factor..

hit the undercling and have plenty of chalk for the greasy sloper above the third bolt. Sent second try

had some sketchy bolts when I climbed it, but apparently they have been replaced since

The anchors and pro bolts on this route have been replaced by the LVCLC and the ASCA with support from AAI.

more like a long boulder problem, BE AWARE of the anchor bolts! you can move them by hand in the bolt hole and are exposed by about a half an inch
