Ascent Notes for: Isaiah Direct - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.67/5

Good start to a great route. Slightly overhanging and good jamming and jugging the entire way.

Scary start. Glad I was familiar with moves; it would make for a pretty impressive onsight. About as good as it gets for a one-pitch route.

Harder but less awkward than the other start. I protected it with 2 blue metolius tcus and a .5 camalot. Highly recommended if you prefer bomber finger locks over awkward stemming. The rest of the climb is classic. Doubles .5-1 and a single 2 (c4s) plus a set of nuts should see you safely to the top.

awesome...

Good fingery moves at the beginning with good pro. Didn't really seem that much harder than Isiah proper.

I've heard this route rated as everything from 10a to 10d, so a 10b rating seemed like a good compromise when entering it to the database. For me, this was much harder than Dugalds, or Waterslip Down and Pillow Fight at the Forks -- both 10b and with fingery cruxes.

Gear list: .2 camalot, purple TCU or yellow Zero all fit the lower crack nicely, .75 camalot for the right crack below the mantle. Add regular Isaiah rack for the upper section.
