Ascent Notes for: Butthole Express - 5.8 Average Rating : 3.07/5

none

classic great first lead for folks

pain in the a** to get started, but easy the rest of the way. Good warm up and practice cliping in.

a little slick but makes you concentrate on your feet

This was one of my first lead climbs, I lead it again and didn't remember how to get up at first. There are a couple of variations for sure. Once I figured out you need to finger the butthole to get up to the second bolt. After leading, I toproped it twice to get it smoothly. Large rocks for easy natural anchor or you can build gear anchor.

my first Onsight... even if it was on Top Rope it was great!

A good day out climbing. Led this without too much trouble. The rock is a little slick. I am sure this one gets plenty of traffic.

super fun route, but going over the bulge is harder imho, but once you get past the second bolt, its super easy

Onsight the right variation.I Redpointed the left variation. The is some fun footwork and small two and one finger holds. Fun challenging and makes you think. The left variation is 5.9 in my opinion.

Tricky move over the bulge.
