Ascent Notes for: Dope Ninja - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.42/5

An epic send with my climbing partner Dave. He lead the 1st, 4th, and 6th pitches, I lead the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pitches. Ended up being a 12 hour affair and had to rap down in the dark but seeing all the stars and the west mountains lit up by the moon was amazing. Super sweet climb.

Ed's book and Dane's new guide book disagree on P2 rating. P2 is LONG, needs 20 draws, has 2 distinct cruxes and feels a whole lot like the "10" Dane rates it. Ed has it as a "9". Whatever, it's fun, fun, fun. Even better was doing Snot Girlz the day before and chasing it with Dope Ninja, the backside of the gendarme. Easy rap down snot girlz, although you have to be very careful not to knock loose rock on the climbers below.
