Ascent Notes for: Battle of the Bulge - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.00/5

One of the coolest cracks I've climbed. I fell at the crux last summer and decided to save it for cooler (less slippery) weather. Soo much fun!

I always admired this line when I walked by. Not feeling up for the lead but not sure if I would return to sam's I put it on TR and found out that it was much easier than expected! I hoped for fun jam's after the roof but it's too big for my hands so it was just a chicken head pull to the top.

jesse called it...great crack - looks harder than it is...

It wasn't pretty but I got it. 2nd time is the charm.Thank god for the chickenheads up top! Very enjoyable.

Followed an excellent lead by mrhungus. Excellent fist jams available. If your technique stinks you can lieback or use a few face holds. Fun route, some exposure, solid for the grade.

For some reason I was thinking that this was an 8 before I started it. So there I was at the crux thinking "Either I'm getting really soft, or this is by far the hardest 5.8 I've ever been on."
LB the crux.
