Ascent Notes for: The Stand - 5.11a Average Rating : 3.75/5

there is gear after the crux; oppositional micro nuts and/or blue alien.

gear is not so terrible after the crux, and I'd put closer to PG rating. Tricky and thoughtful moves throughout, not just the crux stand. Fun route that requires more balance than strength.

A great route for breaking into the grade. Great protection at the thin balancy crux. I took two falls before pulling through it. I didn't feel sketched with the gear above, but there are some more thin moves up there!

small sidepull for right hand to help with stand move. Probably easier than 5.11. Crux Easier than long move (crux) on frustration syndrome.

as already stated, be solid at the grade if leading

While the crux is very G (and very hard!), there is very poor gear afterwards.

Scary leading after the crux. Almost R rated IMO. Good thing the cruz gear is bomber. Flexibility and good high stepping ability are required for this one. A really fun toprope with directionals

Really good moves with decent stances in between. Clean lead, followed Tennessee Dave up this in June 2007. Green Alien and Purple c3 at crux.

Clean after 1 fall.
