Ascent Notes for: Flesh and Blood**** - 5.11b popular Average Rating : 3.92/5

Like everyone said before, watch the end of the rope when lowering. Great climb.

Finally got the redpoint after several attempts on this excellent RQD (RDO + RQ = Regular Quarry Day). Its a great route - one of the best of its grade at the Quarry - long, sustained, multiple cruxes. The flakes just above the roof seemed fine to me.

flakes up top are kinda sketchy

Long, some rests, long, all kind of moves from heelhooking to mantels, long. Consider unclipping to reduce rope drag.

10.5 mm rope 60 meters, barely made it down, must use rock outcropping to reach bottom. Keep an eye ok the end of your rope or face the consequences. Some holds were x'ed but they looked ok to me

31 meters of fun, with high moves over roof, side-pulls, reachy, pumped near top due to length of climb, rests to be taken advantage of

I think this route is one of the quarry's top 10 routes for many reasons; It is very long, the climbing is varied, it has multiple crux sections, and the pump builds all the way until the end! The first crux is low, between the 3rd and 4th bolts. The next crux is pulling onto a ledge 3/4 of the way up. Then the 3rd and most intimidating crux is pulling through the big roof off of the ledge! A solid 5.11b route.

pumpy but ton of fun

31 meters

Great route, maybe 11c?
