My Route - 5.6 popular

combined P2 and P3. Don't miss the bolt above the crux move on P2, you need it to protect the second on the move.

After climbing Jim Dandy, we finished the evening on My Route. I would have to say it was much better in the dark. I let my partner lead the first pitch and I lead the second and third pitches. I combined both upper pitches into a single pitch. With proper gear placement, the drag is not that bad. The view was amazing, all I could see were the lights. I would highly recommend strapping on a headlight and giving it a try in the dark.

Even though the climbing is quite easy, I just really enjoy this route. It is a very casual climb with excellent views. The pro is really good too. I just clip the bolts and don't bother with anything additional. The only spot that is even remotely difficult, if that, is just above the first belay. I stay to the left and climb over the mini roof. We climbed later in the day while the rock was shaded and cool and the black flies were out in full force. I think it would have been better to endure the heat from the sun than those little blood suckers. Hopefully, they will be gone soon.

This is definitely one of my favorite routes at Table Rock, I never get tired of it. I lead the full route and turned it into two pitches instead of three for the sake of time by combining the upper two pitches. The rope drag was surprisingly light and I will probably climb it this way from now on.
