Ascent Notes for: Bitchy Virgin - 5.5 Average Rating : 3.56/5

Pitch 2 gets run out so place plenty of pro before it goes blank.

First, I really liked this climb a lot, 2 completely different pitches. P1 was damp but well protected and it was fun climbing the dihedral. We meant to break it up in 2 pitches but I turned the corner to high and overshot the belay, so I kept going and did it in one long pitch.

Didn't have worry about running out of gear, because there was little to be found on p2. The climbing was quite good, fun 5.5 face climbing, but I didn't find much gear. It made this 5.6/7 leader just a little nervous. Unless I was blind, I don't see the G-PG that the guide book gives it.

climbed with beau. finished in the dark. ropes stuck on rappel- twice! epic night, but the climbing was fun!

Great lead! I really liked this one.

Much better than Son of a Bitchy Virgin

Climbed this with my son. The first pitch was really fun – a dihedral with some G and some PG sections, but mostly G. The dihedral ends at a roof, and moving out from the dihedral onto the face provides some exciting exposure. The 1st belay ledge is shared with Funny Face and it is difficult to set up a good anchor – there is adequate pro but it is spread out wide. The second pitch was more difficult to protect and a little scary at times (maybe R?), but within my capacity to climb.

Led P1, Followed P2. With Nicole. (She's confused about which pitch she got lost on....)

Got a little lost on the first pitch and ended up right of the intended belay point

No comment

p.1 only (partner led p.2)
i had a bit of a chickenshit moment when i thought i couldn't do it (first lead of the season and all) before i came to my senses and started moving. good pro (the first pitch at least).
