Top Rope ascent by: mckbill on 2009-10-25 (View Climbing Log)

could not repeat it

Nice series of three-finger pockets and then larger pockets at the top. I agree the last move is the toughest...I was on top rope just wondering how I would get a stance on lead to put draws on the anchors. Hanging the rope over the open hooks, as someone else suggested, would be easiest alright, but would wear out the anchors. Top rope was not-so-easy to setup: anchor self to tree, quick draws to the anchors and then extend the tree anchor to use as a backup for the open hooks. I give it a PG13 on top rope because falling mid-way will swing one into the opposite rock face. I managed to get this on my first try because I was scared of the penj...tried again later but could not repeat and took a swing toward the wall with no bad outcome.
