Ascent Notes for: The Crucifix - 5.11b Average Rating : 4.00/5

super hard.... 11+ ?

This pitch spit me off last time and I had to pull on bolts to get to the top. I've improved since then, and managed to eek out a redpoint on this thing. There are three cruxes, the two bolt dihedral being the most desperate! The pitch is well bolted, and very safe, but gear helps in a couple of places.

Sweet stemming problem to the airy traverse and mantle finish. Clipped the crappy nail (yup, concrete nails with home-made hangers) on the Bat before pulling the mantle to cut the long pandu fall (never tested the nail though).

awesome, intricate and hard stemming prod by mostly bolts and pitons. a few thin pieces required. absolutely stopper traverse moves to contrived anchor placement. did something break here?

Spectacular stemming.
Pretty well protected by pitons and bolts + a few small pieces.
Strange ending on a blank face though.
Sun, dry wind, and constant exposure made working the route quite tiring.
