lily chilling after making the crux reach on Scene...
Description
A very enjoyable climb and a good first climb of the grade for those breaking in to 5.10s.... There are two cruxes, the first steep and a little pumpy the next techy and footworky....
Starting on the left end of the cave climb up directly on steep rock or step off a boulder to reach good holds.... A few of the key holds on the first part are a bit hidden, so if you feel like it's too hard for the grade you might be right.... Continue up and right to a good rest stance, then around the corner and left on to balancy moves (past a loose hold that just won't come all the way out...yet) and on to the Quick clips....
Enjoy.
Location
On the left side of the cave, the next route left of Cereal Killer (5.11c)....
Protection
5 bolts to quick clips.... Stick clip the first bolt....
i always felt that not using the holds to the left messed up the flow of the route and made the moves feel forced and awkward... i never did this variation on purpose but messed it up the first time i climbed it...
i tend to leave the eliminates for the gym... but each to there own...
The hold Lee is talking about is kind of hidden off to the left and for me it makes the difference between a really fun, somehwat casual climb and a pretty big, but still exciting slap in the face.
