Johanna climbing Free to Think, Leda, January 2008...
Add Photo  Printer View
Description One of the relatively few trad lines at Leda, Free to Think is short but fun and well-protected.
Starting at an obvious corner below a ledge, boulder past a chockstone through an overhang to the ledge. Move left and follow the crack in the corner using good jams and stemming. The route ends at ring anchors on a shallow ledge, which is the starting point for a harder sport climb (Temple of Doom).
Location Starts about 15' left of Speedway Boogie.
Protection Medium gear, up to maybe 3". Bolted anchors.

| The ring anchors are suspect. |

| Can be topped easily by walking over on ledge from Fanfair, Speedway Boogie or Cracked Actor.
Anchors looked good on 11-6-2011. Used to top rope it. |

| Easy climb with a strange start. The climb is made easier by the plentiful features on the right face; I've seen the route done crack only though. Takes gear all the way up, would be a great first lead. |

| Bizarre route. Awkward bouldery start (12'), decent 5.6 corner(20'), easy roof (4'),4th class exit (20'). Still a good route for new leaders. |

| Keep your head straight for the start and then figure out the perfect combination of crack and face climbing to the juggy roof. |

| This was my first trad climb. The beginning is kinda weird. I went left and mounted up to the beginning of the crack. Easy climb overall. |

| The start to the route is the hardest part, which isn't bad at all. For 5.8 this crack is so good it came out the dealers mouth dry! Great lead, wish it was longer. |
