Finishing the first crux of Blood. If a climb tha...


Description 

Very physical route that's burly from bottom to top and has lots of good footwork. Overhangs about 30 degrees.


Location 

Just right of the cleaver-like arete two routes share a start. NO WAR branches left to the arete, Blood Meridian heads for the left-leaning crack.


Protection 

Bolts and chains with biners.

A very tough FA for me. I don't know how many tries I put in...but it was alot. My fat fingers just don't work well with the crux holds. I was about to give up on the route when Monica Wang asked me if she could give it a go. She had taken a couple of TR runs, but wanted to lead it. I said "sure...do it". And she came within a whisker of sending. That energized me enough to give it one more go...and I got it.

If you are a fan of Cormac McCarthy, you may get a grin out of the juxtaposition of this route and "No War".
