Relaxed on The Perfect Ten.


Description 

A fun route with some neat moves, but a little overrated. Follow the short bolt line to the left of a small prow or bulge. (On the bulge is a single rusty hanger to rusty chains.) Between bolts 1 and 2, swing to the right a bit, then traverse across a ledge left. Juggy pockets from here out make it easy.


Protection 

TR can be achieved by walking further west and gaining the top of the cliff through easier means. 4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor (shared with Not).

Yes a VERY zig-zag route but 5.8(maybe 8+) at most. I did repeat the route on top rope climbing the bolt line absolutly straight up and it's a great tip shredding 11d/12a.

We had fun running up this as a timed event. Ended up getting it down to about 35-40 seconds on toprope. Good warmup pump.

Pretty dumb. Totally agree with Dave on this one. "Not" is a much better climb.

I disagree with the above comments. Great rock, and improbable looking at first, with great holds appearing when you want them. So what is wrong with zig-zagging? The new guidebook gives this 3 stars and I would agree.
