Ascent Notes for: Diving for Rocks - 5.10d popular Average Rating : 4.04/5

Nice route. Love the hands before the dyno. Easy to the chains and fun roof moves. It felt like a 5.10b To me.

Polished beyond all reason.

pretty tight

The middle dyno area is fun and is a bit easier for taller people - a controlled stand-up grab is doable for taller people, but using a dyno move is much more fun! I am 6'1" and my climbing buddy is 5'3" - she is a strong climber, but the extra length needed to make the mid section move was much harder for her and she used a crimpy mid-hold there. After a few shots on the mid-section dino area, the top is very pumpy but pretty good holds overall. Felt great finishing it! A good endurance strength training route I think.

Inspiring route, feels great to touch the roof.

Flashed this on top rope last week twice. Then did it on lead today. Not bad for my 10th trip to the crag after taking a 12 year absence from climbing.

This route is another one that everyone seems to love...but me. I do it primarily for the purpose of training. I liked it much more before the hold just before making the crux move broke. It just feels different to me. The crux move is never a sure thing for me. I either hit the ledge or I miss it and fall. I enjoy the downclimb more than the upclimb.

Dyno was great fun!!! Third bolt is super fun to clip using heel hook!

none

Great route, can be done without the dyno using the slopers by the crack.
