Ascent Notes for: Play It By Ear - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.10/5

Great climb to work at end of the day before dark. Got the onsight!

.

There are some neat moves in the middle (pockets), but the top is kinda weird. Also, have seen lots of bees around this climb as of July, 2009.

cool warm up

Like a lot of routes down at Butcher's, this is one of my warm up routes. It's a fun climb, just gotta stay calm and work though the ending.

wandered a little bit for me, but awesome payoff at the end, i thought i was coming off. sweet pockets and crimps. I thought maybe a .C?? i dunno its short.

.

some really fun moves, and fantastic pockets around the 4th/5th bolts. don't know why it doesn't have stars in the book...and well protected, too. too bad the crux is right at the anchors. less grease, and more straightforward moves than g.p.

Felt kind of goofy and off route on it, it was a warm-up climb for us and I guess that’s why it felt really pumpy
