Ascent Notes for: Scimatar - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.22/5

The climbing on this one isn't anything special except for a few moves on the 2 & 3 pitches.

---

Ok route, all the stuff between Haystack and Bear Reach seems contrived because the dikes allow traversing to easier terrain up higher. We went left instead of right and did second pitch of "The Last Sandwich" and finished on the last pitch of Fantasia without even realizing it until we consulted Supertopo. We later did first 2 pitches of Fantasia, traversed right and down to anchors at the top of the first pitch of Scimitar and did last 2 pitches of Scimitar.

Awesome route! Sustained, interesting, & thought-provoking climbing. .6 or not, the 'R' certainly got my attention! I was very glad to get to my next piece of pro'... IMO, one of the best climbs at The Leap.

great route must do at the Leap

This route is as good as the line and more sustained. I found the runout to be very nervy. The roofs on p3 are a lot of fun.

Had my tail between my legs in places.

Do this one. It's wandering, varied, and the pro is good (except for the 5.6 section). Honestly though, if you're climbing this route, 5.6 R should not bother you.

The bulges towards the top just keep coming. I felt tested. I liked the route and the difficulty.
