Location: GA : Mount Yonah : White Wall : Think Pink (5.10b/c)

Comments: Found enough placements for gear on this one but didn't feel like the flake would hold a sling on the top right corner in a fall and thus leave one unprotected for the crux. The rest of the placements looked bomber.

Comments: Tough for a 5.8. Probably would be easier if I didn't fight my way up the crack and let the feet do the work.

Comments: This route felt harder than Return of the Jodi, more like a 10b/c. Jodi felt more like the 10- on this wall.

Comments: The dead tree has been sawed off but is now hanging out of another live tree and is in the perfect place to hit a head on if someone pops off making the move at the second bolt. I saw two people on top rope knock the backs of their heads on the tree.

Comments: After pulling the roof I put in a #1 C4 in the dirty crack then saw the bolt to the right which was at the bottom of a line of 3 bolts. Was this line for On the Wings of Buzzards or is there a second line that is not mentioned here or in the book? It appears that the Wings line steps right after pulling the roof. Then after the last bolt it was unclear whether to go right to the Smooth as Silk anchors (lots of lichen) or left to the Where Buzzards Dare anchors. Felt better to see to 10c ... more >>

Comments: This route has several spinning bolts and loose nuts- as do a few routes at the Feathers Northside I noticed. Somebody take a wrench up there!

Comments: I thought this climb was a fun, well-protected lead but I found both anchor bolts were loose and I didn't feel safe using them.
