Ascent Notes for: Jorgie's Crack - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.86/5

solid crack. Best one on Discovery Wall IMO

I'd say 5.9 is appropriate grade for the lieback moves at the top. Solid finger slot are plentiful.

Great but too short. Crack gets thin toward the top - but face moves keep it under control. Cams are tough to place - medium nuts all the way

Protects well, especially with small-medium nuts, the new book down grades it to a 5.9 but i still feel it is at least a 5.9+

Fun climb. Pumpy layback around the piton, interesting traverse finish, rest of the climb was easier (5.9).

fun fun crack

Real fun.

Rock seemed very good for Pinnacles standards and takes nuts well. Used nothing larger than a 1" piece on the route. A quality route, well worth doing if you're at the Discovery Wall.

Last climb of the day and I was tired. I had trouble getting a place to stand and clip the fixed pin. Maybe I should have shipped it and placed more gear. The flake/foothold that was used to place the pin may be missing now.

After that, I had to hang and rest before I could finish the climb. The bolts were good and I would try it again when I am fresher.
