| An arrangement of protection that produces little - if any significant - rope drag, yet still affords some protection and allows the route to be done as a single pitch. | CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : Rubicon (5.10c) | gregory huey | Nov 17, 2009 |
| One more move, and the redpoint is bagged! Ropedrag at the top was not significant (but I should point out the rope was a dry-coated and almost-new 10.5mm). Note the pro & slings on the approach hand- | CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : Comment | gregory huey | Nov 17, 2009 |

Comments: Thanks- With the two double length slings (one at the first piece on the traverse, then one on the first piece at the bottom of the finger crack), there was hardly any noticeable rope drag

Comments: Murf, curiosity about finger sized nuts?

Comments: Now Murf, It would take way too much time and space to type in all the details of the pro used! Wouldn't it be easier if, for every climb, we posted closeups of the gear we used in the order it was placed on the climb? I could carry the photo with me on the climb - maybe tape it to my rack or thigh - so I would be sure I was doing it right.

Comments: Gregory, can you tell me what the first and second pieces actually are? Will Metolius cams work? Also, what sizes are your finger size nuts? Do you use Wild Country or Black Diamond?

Comments: Bagged the redpoint on this excellent 10d (one of the best at JT?) Oct 24 2009. I used minimal pro with long slings over the easy hand-crack (approach) section and had no problem with rope drag (of course _had_ I fallen there it might have not been so great... - but the hand-crack is super-easy). This was my third ascent and the second on lead - benefited greatly from previous experience protecting the 10d finger-crack section - it eats up finger-sized stoppers great. This time I racked all my f... more >>

Comments: I humbly bow in homage to the friction gods! Is that a Gaines route?

Comments: The route to the right is called Mule Days (5.11a), FA by Bob Gaines. 3 bolts down low to join GCDT for it's last bolt.

Comments: Stylish moves for a friction route, climbing a face with just enough shallow dishes to make it possible. The crux runout seemed a bit forced though, as you're hanging out at a jug with the next bolt just out of reach. Anybody know what the 3-bolt route to the right of this one is? Had a bouldery friction crux low down in dark rock(11+ish)?
