Ascent Notes for: El Primero - 5.9 Average Rating : 3.73/5

none

This climb is a good warm up for the area. There is a spot where it gets a little negative and you have to work your way over the bulge.

Easy to get pumped around the 3rd bolt without proper foot placement. If this route is the one I'm thinking of (guide is very confusing on this wall), this is a sandbagged 5.9. 10a if you ask me.

.

It felt 5.9; compare it to KB-9 for instance once you wire both.

Beta Spoiler....get right-foot on the ledge below and right of the anchors.

really was a gem of a climb out there all by itself about 30 feet left of the Serpent Wall. very positive holds. can go up the left side or the right side for a very different variation. i lead both sides and really enjoyed it.

Limestoner committee has this as a 5.10-. Seems deserving to me compared to others rated that grade at Dead Cats nearby.

enjoyed this route, too short though

it was a cool route, got a bit pumped beeing to choosy with the holds

good warm up

My first time on this wall, and I loved this route. I hate overhangs, but enjoyed this one despite missing the onsight. I will have to go back for the redpoint.
