BenHorton's Logbook (75 ascents)

Finally redpointed. Even after onsighting much harder, this one always messed with me.

Not 5.10... Just take your time and watch your feet. It's all there. The traverse is fun though!

Awkward Step around on Jensens Jaunt.

The "crux" is not the crux, the "bouldery start" is more like a solo. I think i went to far right on the start and had some seriously sketchy moves back to the crack. I think next time I'll just take the 10 C direct start. The flake was easy, and well protected, I think people are just scared of the move. The offwidth above could use a couple #4's, anybody who says otherwise is just trying to impress you with their runouts.
It's definitely a 5.9, but I wouldn't recommend this climb to 5.9 climbers. (Oh, and it was the worlds first 5.9, but that's only because the rest of the world didn't use the YDS) - I think I'm grumpy today, my notes are pissy.

The horn section is a bit contrived, but well worth it.
I'd recommend doing Coffin Nail into Traiter horn.

I've been looking at this one for a while, but only just got on it. It was so frigging hot out I was on the verge of heat stroke. I took a hang because I had to puke... Would sent if it wasn't so hot.

Got off route on pitch 2 (off route is the direct line, the 5.9 goes left under the roof for anybody looking to do this) I'd say the direct route was 10+ on weak placements, then runout easy stuff above the roof...

Gotta get this one... Know I can do it though.

So much fun!

It doesn't have to be fun to be fun...
