Awesome route

1ST TIME AT QUARTZ

I think it was my best (and only) 5.10 scarefest yet this year. I thought I might piss myself before the bolt. All other descriptions of the climb are accurate.

Schweeet!

Im hesitant about claiming an onsight of this line because I rapped the route and stared at the features trying to talk myself into jumping on the sharp end. Eventually I talked myself into it and what an experience. With a white alien protecting the first crux over the bulge, it soon became obsolete as I ran it out for the next 25 ft to the first bolt. Nothing too hard, but definately a mind fuck. Clipped the bolt and felt a rush of relief as I made the next few moves up to the second and last bolt. It protected a powerful/balancy side pull up to the upper slab. Then another 20ft runnout over 5.9 up to the anchors. PHew, what a climb. Totally different experience on lead.

great fun, no falls. RX? TR!
