Ascent Notes for: Vorpal Sword - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.00/5

takes nuts all the way up. Fun route and well worth while. Good example of stars not being the best way to gauge quality (1-star route that was more fun for me than plenty of 3-star routes I've been on).

Great pro, but I placed nuts only if I remember correctly.

Uh, that diamond shaped block is a bit loose, but that didn't stop me from hanging on it. Really fun lead though,
;-)

Without any beta ahead of time, my improvised decent involved throwing the rope around one of the rocks on the back side and with an awkward maneuver to begin rappel, lowering down the loose grit. That worked out okay too.

My first all-passive gear climb. One hex, and the rest nuts. Great climb.

the best line at Atlantis, good, but thin pro and nice position.

had a great trip up this one: bomber gear and a good crux at the time...recommend it
