Ascent Notes for: American Wall 5.3 (5.7) - 5.7 Average Rating : 2.92/5

mock led this, protection looked awkward. didnt seem like 5.7 at the top.

i think this would be pretty scary on lead although the holds are great

.

scary as crap pro sucks but what have ya and strung out at the top.

good easy route to learn placing gear

Fun stuff if you're 6 foot or more. You can reach a big ol' knob at full stretch on the direct start or, as mentioned in the route description, lassoo the sucker if you're shorter. After that, it's just grabbin' plates.

The start is a bit difficult to protect if you start on the right.

Once we realized that this wall was easily protectable, it was silly fun to run up it. Definitly more like 5.7 than 5.3 and despite what the book said, there was no r-rated section or serious runout. Way more fun than I expected. Dirty though.

Solo...errr..I mean lead...
