Ascent Notes for: Whodunit - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.64/5

Dis this route in 5.10 approach shoes and (except for the top of the first pitch) I would say it made much of the climbing easier. Primarily liebacks, jugs, and off hands/width climbing which means the larger sticky shoes helped.

Super fun route. I thought the crux was the chimney exit, but it wasn't that bad, I placed the #4 camalot there because I had it, but I had a bomber nut in 2 feet below it and wouldn't have felt bad if I didn't have the #4. As for the supposed 5.9 slab moves on the first pitch, I'll just say that I've climbed 5.7 slab that was harder than anything on the first pitch.

The slab crux in pitch one felt fairly straight forward following. Exiting the chimney pitch however chewed me up and spit me out. But overall a terrific climb.

Every pitch on this classic is great. Truly awesome.

The first pitch (nothing but slab) was the crux for me. Every pitch thereafter was awesome. Terrific hand jams and fun chimney. The move out of the chimney was a bit tricky, but everything else was cruiser. We linked a lot of the higher pitches together (did it in 5 rather than 8).

If you are not experienced in crack climbing the "chimney" pitch will be the crux or if your slab skills leave something to be desired pitch 1 will be the crux. Either way you are going to have fun on this route. I got to do the chimney crux in the rain and felt as though it wasn't bad, the P1 slab crux got me thinking. A couple of #2 BD nuts are really nice on this route which can done in 5 pitches pretty easily.

Great line.

very, very nice

had this one on the list for a long while....glad to do it, and will always be up for doing it again!

This route was pretty fun. (i actually liked The Consoloation better) The Chimney pitch was freaking classic! There was more offwidth than i expected, but nothing that bad. Pretty fun climb. I lead the whole thing but the first pitch which was pretty sweet too.
