Ascent Notes for: Cloud 9 - 5.10c Average Rating : 3.12/5

Interesting, the start seems a bit harder than a typcial 10c Echo climb.

This was an interesting climb, I suppose. A bit dirty, not chossy, but dirty. V0+ boulder start leads to somewhat uninteresting slabby climbing to a physical stemming finish. Kind of blah if you ask me. The 11s to the left and the 10d Terror in New York are all much better climbs.

pretty hard for the grade at the bottom. top is spooky.

5.10 feel like an .11. There are hidden pocket holds you should use at the beginning of the climb on the right side of the face.

Definitely not a warmup. The top part is nonetheless quite spectacular and adds some variety to the climb.

bouldery start and the fact that the rest of the route is surprisingly gentle on your arms if you know how to climb makes this a less than ideal warmup. the top is fun and much easier than it first looks.

Damn scary clipping at the start. Must have been created by tall people...
