Ascent Notes for: Trapped Like A Rat - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.44/5

I sailed through the lower part. Felt like the part after the knife edge was more strenuous than usual.

completed the 5.9 start, but was put off by a soaked and flowing watery knife-edge. I bailed out moving left at the ledge and up through the cavern. interesting still.

Sometimes that's the way things go. Well protected down low, unprotected move onto the knife edge.

Did the direct variation

Just to see if I could repeat. Fun climb, hard 7

Ah, I finally figured out the "secret" to the early moves. Doesn't make them easier, just makes them repeatable.

Just working out the moves at the start. The 9 start is fun, strenuous but doable. I will lead this.

It's weird and hard, but doable with g rated gear.

Glad I didn't. It's just an awkward climb no matter how you do it. There is great gear throughout, although you do have to make an unprotected move onto a platform.

Either way, it's a hard climb. Sure doesn't feel like a 7. Moves are awkward from the bottom to the top. I do live the move to the knife edge fin.

so hard to believe this is a 5.7. The intro moves and the pumpy section at the top are quite challenging, but lots of fun.
