Ascent Notes for: Almost Vertical - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.15/5

Good 7. Middle gets a little difficult but the gear placement is straightforward.

moves at the midpoint and the Almost Vertical name could be changed to Damn Near Vertical as the route is steep.

.

When setting anchors, avoid using cams on the thin rock wedged between the center and left boulders. It wiggles if you yank on a cam.

.

getting to this climb takes a little bouldering and exiting Thin Wall take some down climbing. still fun though.

arrived at 8am and had the place to ourselves for 2 hours. then about 25 climbers showed up at 10am. seriously. seemed like two buses had been dropped off. wild.

Not a bad climb for the area. Started on the ground below the ledges and boulders.

thought it was a different route

fun

Started from the ground directly below the crack, over the boulders to the ledge; adding a bit to the climb. Easy walk off to the right.
