Ascent Notes for: The Farce - 5.5 Average Rating : 3.61/5

would make a great first trad lead, easy climbing if you stay on route, scenic vistas, and a walk off summit, the approach is a little steep though

Did this as one pitch with a 70.

This was a tricky 5.5, but fun, and a the exposure is more like you would find on a 5.7. I felt the crux move was a 5.6.

I thought this was a fun climb. We did it in 2 pitches - belayed a bit high just under the roof.

Route finding is tricky. Looks like you could start up the track down at the base of the giant boulder, or we did an easy exposed traverse on a dike moving left from the top of the giant boulder. My partner was doing her 2nd lead ever and had a hard time finding good protection on the first pitch. (lots of flaring cracks). I led the 2nd pitch, and the first half didn't protect too well and I ran some stuff out considerably, but the latter half was better.

There are so many cracks and dikes - we had no clue if we were following the Super Topo or not. We definitely did a few moves harder than 5.5 - but nothing that felt beyond 5.7. Overall a fun climb.

this is easily done in one long pitch (as long as you don't do the 5.6 start)

the fixed cam below the roof is still there, i worked on it for a little while but the sun was setting so i moved on.

Fun and somewhat steep for the rating. If you want to do it in 1 pitch, bring slings as rope drag can be a pain

wasn't an onsight, but still managed to make it much more difficult than it had to be. All in all good fun though, solid, fun moves all the way up.

with mike... mike had me leading off route... that sob. lol

Started in the bottom section below the boulder. Start seemed much harder than 5.5. One of the steepest 5.5's that i have climbed, but everything is there when you need it.

big dikes! but still sorta hard routefinding...
