Ascent Notes for: Driller Instinct - 5.10d Average Rating : 4.00/5

.

This route is long and very sustained. Burly dihedral climbing leads to a technical traverse right out onto the face, pull through some technical face moves to the steep arete. Very happy to onsight this, there's opportunity's to botch the sequence pretty much throughout. Great route!

My cup of tea. The first pitch is for the trad climber in mind or someone with good stemming technique or hand jamming technique on slabby type of rock. Neither of which I have. The second part I was over with it. although the view from the anchors is pretty stellar.

Crux depends on your taste: technical stemming down low, pumpier stuff up high. Fun the whole way.

A solid 10d the whole way up. I found the crux to be the steep slopey arete towards the top, not the dihedral

very fun, should of lead it, but saw two guys strugle in the dihedral - just stem the whole way up :)

Long and fun.
