Ascent Notes for: The Step - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.40/5

followed crux, led p2

beautiful

Pretty rad route. It's basically one pitch though.

Climbed this with Andre on a beautiful sunday afternoon. I led the crux pitch and thought it was pretty hard. Good gear though and great fun. Im surprised this route doesn't get more traffic.

Really fun moves through the roof. The rest was cruiser.

OK. I guess that since I have always shunned climbing resumes it is funny that this is the route that made me say " I really should try to get these all documented soemwhere. The date is actrually correct on this one, slimbed yesterday with Sergio Langarica, I belive the route is definitely harder than Super Poper which I have climbed three times always on lead, never with any falls. Took a good whipper going over the roof on a #1 Camalot placed in the crack above the roof. Worked left and stemmed back to the right for the funky mantle at the top of pitch two. From their on up it was cake. I climbed this route in memory of Dave and Kelly, I had only met Dave in passing, but when the community loses a member we all suffer. May they rest in peace.

Went back with Ben Craft in 98, I think, after the earthquake. The pitch off the ledge was much harder, .10b, IMO. The rest of that great pitch is no harder than when it was rated 5.8.
