Ascent Notes for: Middle Earth - 5.5 Average Rating : 3.86/5

did 5.7 variation

Sort of fun for a 5.5. Good gear all the way up. I even put a number three camalot in there somewhere.

Easy to do in 2 pitches with a 60M rope. Solid 5.6.

top roped 1st pitch after Bilbo Baggins did the lead.

first pitch only.

P1 was lots of fun (parallel cracks - yay!), but the last pitch was pretty damn stiff for a 5.5. Swain has it at a 5.6+, and I can see why.

Nice. Used to be 5.7, now its 5.5, probably should be 5.6.

it was a busy weekend day, a lot of rappelling and people climbing next to me, so I don't really recall the climb that much, was too busy looking around making sure I'm not going to get thrown off the rock...
Got stuck on the 1st pitch belay ledge in the "traffic" and decided just to go down...

Led the second pitch followed 1st and 3rd, variation at top is nice!!

do the 7+ variation up top!
