Ascent Notes for: Placebo - 5.10a Average Rating : 2.57/5

Favorite test site route. Different moves...power laybacking for the 1st half of the route. Powerful 10a could make it feel like a 10b for some and leave you gassed at top. Route was not chossy. BUT...at some point, some of the larger pieces along the edge may break. Some moved more than I liked. Not today, not this year, but at some point they might. Be cautious. First bolt is kinda high and a little more awkward to reach than it should be given how high it is and the choss factor = PG13.

Decent route with a lieback style the first 2/3 of the way. The top can be a little puzzling for some. PG only if you miss the first clip.

Different from the typical Echo Cliff climbs, at least until the last few moves off the ledge. Nice.

due to all the laybacking, which is fun and gives it a trad feel. Not nearly as loose (anymore?) as previous comments suggest. Fun.

Nearly as glood as the right climb. Crux at top

If you like taking showers of large rocks, then belay someone on this climb.

all sorts of large (softball+) size pieces coming off of this thing.
