Ascent Notes for: Sinbad-Herbert - 5.10d Average Rating : 3.62/5

Very nice first pitch 10a rating is pretty accurate.

no-stemming variation.

just tried the first pitch. sinker jams.

Led p1 (redpoint); followed p2 (flash). Thoughts: p1 feels like 10a if you stem the corner. I've TR'd the crack w/out stemming and it's pretty powerful and feels 10b/c-ish to me, but clearly contrived that way. P2 is scary off the belay (HIGH first bolt with climbing over very dirty and VERY hollow flakes--DON'T fall). The rest of p2 is quality, with the crux being very thought-provoking and technical moves. Very short people will find this pitch much harder than 10d.

hmmmm

Only did first pitch.

This route really isn't all that much fun, decent jams and good pro are the pluses, contrived as F*ck is the downside. If you use the wall to the right you'll miss out on some of the fantastic mutt climbing, the route does get better once your on the upper face climbing but is very repetitive. You'll need two ropes to get down. Only reason I got a redpoint and not an onsite is because I've done the bottom crack before.

Friggin sustained! Way way ahrder than Surrealistic Pillar Direct.

i led this not knowing what the name or rating was... after we rapped off someone told us there was a second pitch... :/
