Event Horizon 

Good climbing on this, but the top portion is runout and has a lonely feel to it when on the lead.

Here's a good article about the term "event horizon" - www.astronomical.org/astbook/blkhole.html.

I didn't lead this, but it seemed a bit easier than the 10b's nearby. Using a sidepull crimp on the left side of the arete through the crux may have helped. Maybe 5.10a + R-pucker factor means 5.10b? Nice route nonetheless, even better with a hard 10 start variation around to the left.

I thought it was solid 10.b-, and nowhere near 10.a+. I top roped it too.



(yeah, I'm an ass, but slicing stuff that thin is kinda silly don't cha' think?)

while I'm at it edit: Blitzo, WTF is a "standard rack" pertaining to this climb? Do I need doubles to 4"? That is a standard rack..... Fix it up chowder head. Your submission needs some work.

starting on the left side is a lot of fun, bring some webbing if your going to top rope (lots of drag)

Crux is at the top. It's 5.9 otherwise. Easy to TR, and with a little extension you avoid the crux. In fact, it's not recommended to TR it without extension as you could swing off to the left and get injured.

We set up a TR on this route and it was a lot of fun. There was only a few harder moves at the top, but we used the arete features.
