Ascent Notes for: Washboard - 5.6 popular Average Rating : 4.56/5

What a fun route. Great rock for placements. Reminded us of Seneca Rocks in WV.

I think this route was named after my abs.

Tried leading this one but took a couple of lead falls before lowering off. Climbs harder than Wailing Wall, with less obvious pro placement and fewer bomber holds. Climbed it clean on second, but I think it is a little pumpy for a 5.6, at least on lead.

No commet

w/jon. awesome climb followed by horrible descent. how bout a fixed anchor at the top of the good climbing? or maybe there was one i missed.

Great moderate. Lots of huge moves, really fun. The headwall is completely vertical with incut horizontals that you can play with all day long. Definately will be repeating this one, although I'd say Wailing Wall is better.

1st time leading , still one of my fav.'s at Moores. Watch your placments , there are plenty but some areas have poor rock quality. Stay on the washboard face at the top and don't go too far right into the really easy stuff, the rope drag in that area will make you think your draging a small child behind you. Climbed right after the 1st P ledge to the tree where the slings and rings are (top of P1 of Hopscotch) and rapped from there, much easier than going all the way up and around to Sent. rap station. Throw rope climbers right a little and a single 60m will hit the ground.

Enjoyed this one... an excellent way to finish my 1st weekend in NC.

Nice incut jugs on upper "washboard" section.

This was my first lead. A lot of fun and a great start to the day. We're still very new to climbing and pleased with how much Moore's had to offer. This especially. Had some really nice views form the belay ledge too.
