Ascent Notes for: Deuces Wild - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.59/5

Just did the 1st pitch.

Enjoyed.

Did it as one Pitch... Lots of rope drag but super fun!

fun

Although very enjoyable, I had the same thoughts as cracklover about the P1 anchor location - it was unnecessary to move far left of the crack system and another 2 meters higher has a standing ledge (I justified not using this since the rock sloped inward much more in this location so that the anchors would be far from the belayer's body).

getting to the p1 anchors is sketchy. A few sortof fun moves

... the positioning for the first anchors is totally stupid. It forces a hanging belay where there's a ledge 6 feet higher. And it cuts away from the natural line of weakness in the rock to force a single 5.10 sequence. Aside from that, not a bad climb.

Sketchy move to the 1st anchors

Another Titus-led gem... or not. Weird moves off the deck. Not particularly spectacular.

Sunny and beautiful. Great view from the top. Easy belay station at the top. Surely not a 5.10 - much easier.
