Ascent Notes for: Alpine Line - 5.9 Average Rating : 2.92/5

Did the first pitch. Good route.

Long and pumpy. It's been repaired a bit and is better than is used to be.

One of the top bolts has blown out, and there is only one there. Partner needed to leave some hardware on the next one down to ensure a safe descent. I went to 3rd bolt.

Climbed it about a month ago and it deserves it's name. The anchors at the top (of P1) are in hollow rock and I was told by a party that climbed it today that one of them is pulling out and it was terrifying lowering off them. Not a climb I plan on doing again unless the anchors are replaced.

Fun climb, but some spots left me a little nervous while leading it. One of the top anchors is loose and they're behind a deep ledge so top roping is somewhat sketchy for rope drag. There are also some big holds at the top marked off b/c of cracking.

There's a tree in the middle of this one! Nice!

Gets a little scary at the top if this climb is hard for you. I really liked the line though.

Long, steep, and pumpy

Some people that climb a lot at Birds are not use to climbs longer then lets say 4 bolts... So when they walk up to Alpine Line they are a little unprepared.

Route is full of holds that broke off. One anchor spins and the other is epoxyed into a system of cracks.
