Ascent Notes for: The Chossmaster - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.44/5

Led a one long pitch. Use a long runner for the last bolt of the first pitch (or skip it). Upper half feels more exposed than it is. Well protected. Very fun for the grade.

This can be led as one pitch with even a 50m rope, but you need a 60 to get off it in one rap. Walk-off is also easy, using nearby gully to get back to your packs.

Long and varied. Second half in a crack features lots of stemming, chimneying, hand jams, etc.

A bit chossy, test your holds and be careful on the ledge not to dislodge something.

Good long climb, nice and mellow...lots of draws.

I liked the second part off the top of the pillar the best. The first half is so-so. Bring LOTS of draws. Don't be intimidated by the name. The route is actually fairly clean.

Lots of chossy jugs everywhere that can make it a wondering route. Think ahead

A nice place to practice "multi-pitch".

I especially enjoyed the second "pitch" of this thing. Good warmup.

beautiful day....very hot....last climb of the day...started getting tired...only climbed to the first set up anchors
