Ascent Notes for: Outside Corner - 5.8 popular Average Rating : 3.72/5

Rad lieback at the top

The climb is ok, the top (lieback) is awesome, but the middle section is rather dull.

Lots of rests and some nice moves.

Fun, kinda juggy, and harder than it looks. Harder sequences are followed by good rest ledges. One of my partners has led this a few times G/PG. Committing moves for the trad leader.

Outside Corner

Wish it was a longer route.

First big move (about 10-12ft up?) is tough on the vertically challenged, but my belay partner had an excellent trick for short people that helped: go out to the right a ways, follow the bitty flake with your hands and tiny features for your feet, then reach left for a pointy flake and heeve-ho up. Definitely a good challenge after spending the winter climbing in the gym. I'd give it +0.1 for all the shorties like me.

Fun awkward part at the bottom, fun little layback (if that's how you want to play it) up top.

Fun lead

I'd climbed the route twice a few months earlier on TR and decided to give it a go on lead. I always find the crux to be one balancy move off of a small hold about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up. The top can be pumpy but isn't so bad if you use the rests when you've bot them.
