Ascent Notes for: Grit and Bare It - 5.11a Average Rating : 3.15/5

fun route, not that runout but a little spooky at the top.

Grit and Bare It is a pretty good name for a route that features PG13 to R rated run outs. The route is most easily clmibed straight up the middle, not starying too far right or left. Yet none of that matters once raching the sloping sketchy run out to the top!

sketchy clip and some slabby pulling to gain the ledge;;;;; was definitely making some kind of weird scared noises

Great 11. Fairly easy at the bottom. The top is slab and a bit run out with the crux right below the slab. Fun route. One anchor is spinning a bit. I could not get the nut to tighten so just be careful.

I traversed right a good bit at the top out, then back left to the anchors, not sure if this is how the route was intended or now.

Fun route either way though.

I watched everyone traverse right above bolt 4, move up, climb back left & clip 5 from the ledge, and then pull the bulge. i remember two years ago my friend crimping with a left hand under bolt 5, high feet, then reaching up to a RH crimp (which is a LH the doing it the other way) then bumping over to the ledge to clip just right of bolt 5, eliminating about 4-5 moves. yet to pull that off seems damn near impossible. not sure what is correct. I think this is 11a cuz of the massive runout at the top, a fall here would probably suck royal.
