Ascent Notes for: The Bulges **** - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.00/5

i pinkpointed this for some folks who were too pumped to pull the end. sweetness...especially not having to fumble with gear!

After noticing this really nice splitter walking up to the wall, I thought about leading it. When the guy from colorado offered a belay, I accepted. Climbing goes smoothly over a pair of bulges if not strenuous over 5.8/9 terrain. No rest spots and by the time i got to the steep part, I was spent. My first attempt, went fairly well, but I spent too much energy climbing static through overhanging pockets to finish the top out. I got to the top and franticly clutching for purchase, I peeled and took about a 12 footer onto a solid green alien. Went back up to try again, leap-frogged my alien to a higher spot. Pumped out again at the top out and put another whipper onto the greeny. After resting a little longer, I finally found the correct sequence and topped out. What a climb. Very impressed with the wall in general. Tall routes about 80 ft. Quality rock, solid basalt. Unique climbing, splitter cracks and overhanging jug hauls. It seemed to have everything.
