Ascent Notes for: Edwards Crack - 5.7 Average Rating : 4.56/5

Not sure why this is such a classic. Tricky first three moves and last three moves. Super easy in the middle.

none

Fun. tough part for me was the start, but it was a cruise from there. Left side in for the roof.

Still a one move wonder.

I was excited to try this route when I first saw it. As we got closer, I realized that it is lower angled than I thought. The first short part was a fun, layback/OW section. After that, I basically walked up the crack and set only 2 pieces. Then the top part that was actually vertical was fun, but only a couple moves to the top. I do have to say that I think that this route may have the only jug in vedauwoo. I was a bit disappointed. Im not sure how this was considered a 5.7 when Mother #1 kicked my ass the day before.

THe jug isn't visible til the end.

Friend soloed up in front of me so I decided to try and catch him. Did pretty well. Such a fun climb to cruise on. Glad I brought the #4 for the crux at the end. After some beers we thought about soloing it in the moonlight. Weren't quite motivated enough.

Good

Pitches 5&6 of a 6 pitch day. Had to retrieve a nut from just above the slab section, as my second had difficulty removing it. I'm not ready to solo Ed's yet.

Felt good to lead it again
