Ascent Notes for: Andrew - 5.4 popular Average Rating : 4.11/5

Pity the 4 leader who tries to find his way up this climb the first time! Such a great climb, just not so sure it's for the new 4 leader.

only first pitch

A success!

PG 1st pitch, and 3th/4th (did both as one) required some route finding.

Probably one of the spiciest 5.4's. Route finding, bad rock on a dicey traverse. Wow, if I was a new 5.4 leader, I would be quaking. Lots of fun.

The 1st pitch was totally wet, but the beautiful second pitch was only dripping. Very nice climb. I kinda wonder about the solidity of the flake on pitch 2, but it's not the sort of route you'd fall on anyway...

Bett lead every pitch. She is really stepping up her leading. She did a great job, but, had terrible rope drag running P2/P3 together. This climb is not for the budding leader. There is big route finding, ok gear, manky rock in places etc.

I think I was in the twilight zone...for some reason it took us (party of 3) FOREVER to do this route. Yet, it was so much fun. Bett lead P1, I lead from the GT ledge to the top in one pitch. Ummm...lots of rope drag by the time I topped out. We took an easy walk (climbers left) and rapped off Arrow.

One other thing...I climbed the brown groove at the beginning of what Gray Dick calls P3. Not sure that this was 5.4, but it was fun and added to the adventure of route finding.

climbed with dave. we swapped leads. always fun.

love this climb. i led P1 and Dave led P2.
