Upperlimits's Logbook (5 ascents)

Short but interesting crack in the middle of a bunch of eyebrows. Very worthwhile climb. I enjoyed working a little crack climb on a day when there wasn't much of anything but eyebrows around.

Followed a guide up this route. Pretty straight forward right up to the Crux. I would have been nervous doing the crux on lead. Loved the route. Good alternative to the Nose or Sundial.

Bailed off this one. This one is called Underway 5.6 in the Vertical Heartland book. I can assure you it's no 5.6. More like a 5.9 move at the crux. Hard to protect properly and use the same area for holds. Takes some large cams. I would recommend 2 #3 BD's and a #4 at least. I ended up walking my cams back down the route and down climbing. I didn't have the stomach for the big move at the crux. Looked like a few hand jams which I wasn't comfortable with on trad.

Great climb. I did it twice just to practice. Gear placement is outstanding. I used quite a few nuts on the climb. 3 nuts and 2 cams. A BD3 and a BD.75. Could use a couple of good chickenheads too. I opted for the BD3 earlier rather than climbing past to the first chickenhead.

I didn't attempt the second pitch.

Pretty wet after the rain. Started with Chimneying and found that didn't work out. You have to stem it to get there. Hate to fall at the start as you could get very hurt. Very sweet climb.
