Ascent Notes for: The Pygmies Got Stoned - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.44/5

Nice face climb. Smear, trust your feet and you home free.

I really liked this route. The 10.A rating felt right to me, although my partner, who is shorter, had to toss to a crimp up high.

Felt somewhat contrived...

Pretty hard for a 5.10A. Very hot in the morning sun. Needed 2 50M ropes to get off.

Start on the dirt! The ledge is always crouded with folks on Wheat Thin. The route runs at 75-85 degrees so keep your hips close. Sweat flows as you dance on nubbins. A beautiful tall reach for the final hold is just below the chains or robb yourself of the sweet victory and climb up to the right for a walk over to the chains.

Fell a few times before I figured out my mistake. Don't get tunnel vision. You don't have to just follow the bolt line.
