Ascent Notes for: East Corner - 5.10d Average Rating : 4.14/5

This is a really fun route with an improbable crux

Really thin, bring nuts. I think it really helped to be 5 ft tall with small fingers. I laid back the roof and got a high foot on the edge of it to get over. Beautiful thin pressing and fingers corner leading up to the crux roof.

Followed 5/31, after lithiummetalman who pulled the crux after 2 falls. Second pitch sustained, sweet finger crack in corner. Aided crux off fixed nut in roof. Mostly required more finesse than strength. Very fun!

Lead the pitch 1 & after looking at pitch 2 we realized that we just don't have the guns for it after climbing hard for 7 days, so just kind of bailed out left on to the 2nd pitch of Pop bottle, ah well definitely want to do at some point...Tim followed all pitches

... protects "the move" from above, and you can place it from below the roof if you reach up high... unfortunately, if you are like me standing on tiptoes on that slab, you will lose your balance and fall while placing the cam. after that, actually doing "the move" was sweet. excellent pitch.

It's really mungy now. reachy dynamic-ish crux, def tons of fun!

Did this as .10+, A0. Roof was hard, crack was grassy, and we didn't bring much small gear at all. hard.

Ok, so its a one move wonder...so what? It follows one of the most aesthetic natural lines on E Wall. Oh yeah, its not one bit harder than .10d...McNamara's tripin. He must have missed the gastone and failed to work his foot up high enough...hint, hint.

easy 5.7 p1 only! gotta go back to get p2 in a few years :) with SG.

It took me a long time to figure out a feasible way past the crux. Eventually I just pulled up real quick and threw my right leg into a drop knee on a ledge on the underside of the roof. It felt pretty awkward, but from there I was able to grab a high sidepull with my left hand on the left face.
