Top Rope ascent by:
a second attempt
Return to Holcomb to work on this project. A much faster climb, but was again the last climb of the day and ran out of energy and finished ugly (although a lot less ugly than last time).
Because this route requires endurance (due to its length) and power, I highly suggest making this the 2nd or 3rd climb of a fresh day.
There is a way around the slaby airy bulge at the top by traversing left onto the 10b... and because you can still touch the bolt line, it's technically not off route (but resist the templatation if you really want to complete this route the RIGHT way).
There are more crimps than I remembered last time at the top section. If your hands are fresh, you can easily dig in your fingertips and power the moves.
