Ascent Notes for: Scarface - 5.6 Average Rating : 2.45/5

If there wasn't two climbs here I wouldn't have set up here.

Fairly easy. A bit tricky at the top.

pretty easy, lots of holds. did it first try on TR after watching a couple people flailing on the first 10 feet, I know, nbd, but I did the 5.7 variation at the beginning to the left.

Did this trad but wasn't real pleased with the results. Easy onsight with a billion holds but the placements were kind of ho-hum. I used some tiny cams a nut and a BD #2 at the top. Probably ok for a mock-lead but wouldn't really have wanted to fall on the gear I did get. Too much crappy rock at Pilot. I think the "sharp ladder" description sounded pretty apt. Just be careful that the pieces don't break off in your hands!

Still, probably an ok spot to take up some beginners. It has anchor bolts but no rap rings.

nothing special. a little variation at the top though.

If you needed 5.6 and were following the rope, the finish will surprise you: not 5.6 to get into that top crack. Either the larger crack to left or the arete to right will continue the jug holds you may need. And while you have the anchors hung, do flip the rope to the other side of the arete and try that. It had been called "Too Smooth" for a much harder route, but staying again along the arete will give you another good short climb at this level more vertical.

it's an ok route...nothing special

Girth hitched a few rock horns and placed a hex.

Tons of holds
