Ascent Notes for: Overhanging Hangover - 5.11b popular Average Rating : 4.06/5

better to lead it than to top rope

Big move for a little girl at the crux.

Very fun route!

lower part before, but this was the 1st time I've led to the upper anchors. I place an orange tcu in the flake after the pins and the 1st bolt, before clipping the 2nd bolt. I clipped the 1st anchors with a long sling and then I placed a #1 Camalot on the upper horizontal before clipping the upper roof. I think 11b is being a little generous with this route...more like 10+ or maybe 11-.

great route a must climb. if your not there yet just the crux move it self is worth the training to climb this one. when leading this route the first 2 petons are strong but old. after the first bolt you go through a fun crimpy section to a small ledge great rest. i place a size .75 or a 1 cam under the big flake before 2nd bolt. only down side of this climb is after the crux its only a 5.8 with big jugs.

This is one of pilots best. Its a must do.... However dont ruin it for yourself by doing it TR, LEAD IT! a great lead well protected and you can clip the 3 bolt from undercling in the first roof with some stretching.

...I've done this before, but I thought I'd log a clean TR. Have to lead it next time.

Use a purple or green camalot if you want to protect between the first and second bolts. I went ahead and clipped the first two pitons, but I wouldn't recommend falling on them. Most people toprope it, but it makes for a great lead.

Fun climb. To bad my fat ass had to hang on it. Dunno why I bother to log this it was a top rope. Whatever. Haha.

It went up pretty easily while hanging the draws -- always nice to return to a route and have that happen -- but then I turned around and had a much harder time on TR. Funny how that goes. Pins are nasty looking, and it is nice to have a piece of gear to protect clipping the 2nd bolt.
