chadnsc's Logbook (59 ascents)

The climb itself is a bit less than vertical (85 degrees) with ample spots for protection. The upper crack is wide with ample opportunities to be creative with jamming. Personally I think the grade is a bit soft.

130’ tall route

0-45’
The route begins with a low angle traverse requiring small stoppers (#2-4) or small cams (#0 or 00 Friends).

45-85
The middle section is 1.5”- 2.5” wide crack running up and the left. Bring cams (#2-3 Friends) or large stoppers (#5-8).

85’-110’
The vertical crack itself is 6" wide and flaring requiring you to stem outside and lie back. Bring at least one large cam (#3.5 Friend) or #8-9 hex.

110’-130’
Once you get to the large patch of trees I recommend heading left as it is protect able with nuts (#3-5) and cams (#7.5-1.5 Friends). If you head right it is a 20' unprotect able slab

Anchors
If you’ve gone left you can anchor to a large tree (bring 48” sling) and several shallow cracks ( #5 stopper and pink tricam recommended). Bring 20’ loop cord and two 48” slings.

I beilive this is the contrived variation of 'Split the Diffrence'. Climb up the slab, throught the center of the roof avoiding the ovous holds to your left and right.

Did both the standard (5.5) and direct finish (5.9). Not a bad lead. Bring small cams and pink tricams.

A very fun slab problem. I wouldn't lead it though, very thin pro

A shallow flaring corner crack with a good deal of setmming. Bring Friends #1 and #3 for crux.
