Clean top rope. Had to down climb the overhang to rest before making it the second try. No fall, no hangs.

sigh. that roof was ugly. since it was one of my very first cracks and all! ;) learnt how to "sport haul" tho...

I love that climb!

This is my favorite Climb at the Creek. I do it Almost every time that I go there and have never sat on it. Perfect #2s, a roof and rests befor and after the roof. The section above the roof is like .7 and easy to get going so as to not realize how fast you are climbing and arrive at the chains fast. I once ran it out from the roof to the chains on accedent, kind of. I only place three pieces of gear that time and hope to never be that stupid again but it's just so easy to get in the rythem on this climb and next thing you know your at the chains. For my hand size I wouldn't call it a .10c. It's too Increadable.

huh huh. huh huh. It's cool. huh huh.
I have dreams about this climb. If you have medium to small hands, it frickin' rules. There are kickass rests before and after the crux roof. I still can't figure out the rating, however. It does not feel like a hard .10 at all. Supercrack AND Generic Crack (both rated as .9+) both seemed more difficult to me. Just goes to show the subjectivity of Indian Creek ratings- some are soft, some are sandbagged. If it looks good, JUST CLIMB IT!
huh huh.
