Ascent Notes for: Gutenberger Wall Direct - 5.7 popular Average Rating : 3.62/5

My first multipitch trad lead. Pretty easy climb, pretty much all slab with a few handjams if you want and maybe some lieback. Good for figuring out how to manage the rope, etc etc as it isn't likely your second will fall. Also, the bolted belay stations make it easy as you don't have to worry about building anchors. All in all, pretty good!

My 13 Year old son's second Multi-Pitch. Crack had a bit of dirt in it but not to bad. Great fun overall. Heading up to Half dome in two weeks to climb 5.7R Snake Dikes. Thought that Gutneberger would be great practice and it was!

This is a beginner trad climb w/bolted belays.

I did the P1 5.9+ variation up the dark overhanging finger crack and then the rest of the crack..

the 5.9 variation is great though... its almost a waste to not do it.....

Led all three pitches. Great route. My second multipitch trad lead. Lots of fun, great exposure and view from top.

Soloed first pitch, climbed second and should have soloed the third cause I ran it out so much. All around awsome climb.I've done it a dozen or so.

fun, sketchy at top b/c of moss

Sweet 3 pitch climb. Easy but enjoyable. Will SOLO some day
