Ascent Notes for: #4 - Cave Man Crawl - 5.7 Average Rating : 2.33/5

This was a pretty straight forward lead. Except for the hold that snapped. Thank God for good feet

The low crux with a grounded first bolt and a high second makes this a tricky lead for a 5.7. Easy after second bolt.

Real risk of ground fall on a poorly bolted crux between first and second clip. First bolt is reachable from the ground without a stick clip and second bolt is too far above crux bulge to clip before surmounting. I ended up climbing around the arete to avoid the bulge ground fall risk. The remainder of the climb was easy and straight forward.

.

Good easy lead.

Good practice for new leaders like me - Trust your feet!

These five climbs are perfect for young or new climbers just watch out for the falling rocks and broken glass

not fun

5.7 is more realistic

A little easy for a 9 unless you start directly under the bolt and try to make it hard.
