Ascent Notes for: Cave City - 5.6 Average Rating : 4.14/5

Climbed up this thing for a warm-up(?) before hitting the Off-width right next to it. Was really just trying to figure out what gear to take for the upper section of the off-width. Both were a lot of dirty fun!

One of my first leads, on trad. Eats up trad gear; medium to big, with long slings to avoid rope drag; big solid stances; can feel scary at the grade; later soloed a time or two

THis is a great climb with lots of good moves and is long. It had some difficult areas to protect, mostly at the top. FUn and worth trying. It looks like it takes a lot of large gear from the ground, but once you are up there is was mostly small gear with a few midsize peices.

Work through it, its not so bad once you figure it out. Larger pro more useful.

This is a simple chimney route, just work with it and you'll be up in no time.

Good lead, but like it says in the book, a whipper here would get ugly.

Bring a headlamp and check out a few of the smaller caves on your way up. (I'll remember mine next time)

My first Trad lead this is a great climb
