Ascent Notes for: Reggae - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.22/5

Really fun climbing - loved the crux finger crack...and the chossy top-out!

w/ Paavo

fun crux.

Three pitches. I led each and let a newbie friend hold my rope; it was his first time climbing outside. I think I chose a good one for him.

There are some awesome cracks on this route. The majority of the route is fairly mindless and simple. The top 20 feet require some commiting moves and a little gusto, plus you're pretty exposed on the last crack. As the description says, you will look like a beached whale trying to pull yourself through the crack, so traverse to the right and fling yourself up.

good time if i remember right a little loose at the top

Definitely beach whaled though.

Did P1 Calypso to get to this gem. I seconded this route by moonlight sans headlamp. Made for a memorable time. Pretty scary second traverse at the end. I found it was easiest to not do the beached whale thing, but rather smear to get the solid high right foot on the large block to your right and pull an easy (but exposed) mantle move to straddle the block.

awesome climbing...didn't like the high winds...
