Ascent Notes for: Thin Slice - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.53/5

such an incredible moderate climb! This is the go to warm up on Parking Lot Rock.

This is one of the better moderate trad climbs at the City. In fact, 3rd only to Animal Crack and Yellow Wall for me. Classic finger crack like you would see at Jtree with large elephant ear patina jugs to assist. Place pro at will. Aesthetic, long and sustained, rarely does single pitch cracking get any better than this. A few cruxes are located in the later half of the climb, where the positive features leave you to deal with the crack direct. I specifically remember palming out right to place a piece and then transition back into the crack, towards the end.

technically a pink point, the gear was pre placed, as I'm not sure I could have made it otherwise

Darn. Slightly harder than I expected - I lost my focus at the crux and after few tries, took. Need to go back and send it. Pretty line, nice moves. Overall great route.

Harder than I thought it would be

Yes I did whip off this crack onto a blue TCU. Intense! and now its a little mis-shapen. Oh well. Great climb anyway. Cant wait to do it again.

Fun thin crack splitter.

I don't know why it took me so long to try this climb, it is rad! Beautiful rock!

My favorite 10a so far at the City. Agree w/ Camhead - the route description ('if you ain't jammin', you're cheatin') is retarded. And kprtx - if you think this is the City's toughest 10a - try Double Cracks at King on the Throne!!

This was one of my favorite climbs we did in the City, I didn't think it was overly difficult for a 10a though... but I was just top roping it. When I can lead a 10 on gear I'm coming back to lead this!
