Ascent Notes for: Son of Bitchy Virgin - 5.6 Average Rating : 3.09/5

seconded beau one of first wknds back from wrist surgery rehab. hope to lead it when im back to full strength!!

after the crux, the second pitch runs out. Williams calls it 5.4 R, which is about right. It is possible to put a small tcu into a shallow parallel up there, but this is a spicy 5.6

Fun yet scary lead, I ran it out at least 25 feet on the second pitch. Good face climbing on the last half of the second pitch.

none

It looks like the route disappears on pitch 2 but keep on trucking straight up and it will reveal itself. Nothing larger than a .75 Camalot on this one.

I was anything by stylish getting over it, but I got it. The rest of the route is nice face climbing for the most part.

Maybe I did it wrong, or was just plain old stupid that day, but I only had 2 pcs for the entire 2nd pitch. I had crazy run out and faced a definite factor 2 fall, going past my belayer (thanx Brett for not killing me) if I peeled. I didnt find any placements at all. Thankfully it all went smooth and nobody was hurt, mainly me.

Led p2.

Led the first pitch only and rapped off cleaning gear due to an accident on
Wild Horses. Helped carry injured climber down talus. Roof on p1 felt more like 5.8? might have been off route.
