Ascent Notes for: Group Therapy (R) - 5.7 Average Rating : 4.11/5

Marc lead all pitches. We climbed with 70 meter rope and was able to combine P3 & P4.

I'd have to argue that this one is better than Tunnel Vision. The offwidth sections may be more run out, but they're definately less abusive to your ankles, knees, body etc... We had a large breakfast at the hotel and didn't get started till about lunch time, but even climbing as a party of three, after running pitches 2&3 (maybe it was 3&4, can't remember off hand) together we were back on track and topped out before dark (don't forget to call for late exit permit though). Rope drag from trailing 2 ropes, especially at the top) was a bit annoying. I had forgotten just how long and ugly the hike down was though. Ran into lots of big horn sheep at the bottom, very cool to see.

havent been on this one in years- it was a great return to an old classic. this one is not to be missed, but i would consider it a solid step up from tunnelvision, especially in terms of protecting it well and one or two of the anchors. also, dont be afraid of the 5.8 exit (the right hand of two cracks directly above the last pitch- its inline with the rest of the route and is more like 5.7. a big piece (#4.5 or #5 C4) is very handy on this route.

Very fun, lots of different things to do.

led p3, p6 according to Handren's guidebook.

Great Climb, offers crack,face and OW now what is better than that? Onsighted this route with C.Conner. P5 has nice delicate holds, very cool pitch. Bring your big cams!

Got on this one and just followed the line and stopped when we were out of rope. Took the 5.8- option at the top instead of cutting left onto the 5.7 face, much more fun crack climbing.
