Ascent Notes for: Makanda Lieback - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.14/5

Great Fun

tricky for the grade

very fun and a slopey crux

Went out and did this with my roomate one afternoon. My first so ill trad lead. It was a good intro to placing gear down here. Date is a guess. The tempura tour traverse goes left after the bolt and is highly recommended.

Hard & strenouous trying to slot the best nut at the bottom. I was particularly nervous, because I didnt think that many good nut placements were up ahead, so I had to place one that I might have to rely upon solely. Scary & way runtout from there to the bolt. I got a marginal piece in before the runout & then ran it out past the bolt. Way fun.

Quality 5.8. Had to traverse into the route bc there was a 3ft long rat snake at the base. **take a moment to sample some of the sweet lemongrass growing about 40ft up. {Seasonal, of course.} ;)

SoloTR, really a fun route, especially the early layback

tough off the ground but relatively easy after that.

No comment

Itd be hard to trad this one, but being so close to my home, its great
