A breathtaking young gal from Argentina jumped on ...
Description
Job Security starts on the right sector by taking a shallow, right-facing, corner system. It can be done in two pitches.
P1 has gotten more difficult with the loss of its hanging flake, and probably ticks in at 5.11 rather than 5.10.
P2 has two 5.11 cruxes, the upper being thinner and a bit fingery.
Protection
60 meter rope and either 15 draws or ten. Done as two pitches neither uses more than ten draws. Can be done as a single pitch, but this produces some rope drag.
I agree with the comment about the rating. Did this a while ago and thought it was pretty desperate for 5.10. Felt like mid-5.11 (albeit only for a move or two) to me.
N.B.: A hanging flake has broken off the entry moves making the start roughly mid 5.11. I'll make the notation change as soon I get a general consensus. My own run suggested something like 11b, but I'll buy whatever makes sense. Nontheless, I wish all you overloaded testosterone studs could have watched the stunning young Argentine crack it open - some women climbers just slay me. Her photos are a grave injustice.
[Whoa] dude! That first pitch was certainly harder than I expected! I'm glad to hear the climb actually changed, rather than that I just suck. I would agree with the 11 rating, probably easier for taller people.mike.
