| Bouldery start is right: I climbed up; tried out various tiny, uncomfortable holds. I climbed down. I climbed up and over; tried pockets. I climbed back over and down. I climbed up, thought about committing, climbed down. I climbed up, committed, guessed wrong. I fell down (onto the first bolt). Lowered down and started over. Figured out where the (itty-bitty) hold I needed is, and fell off when an intermediate hold broke. Lowered again. Finally grunted through the start on features only loosely resembling holds and sent, but man! As the cliche goes, this route should "clean up nicely" although the choss fairly rained from the line during both my and my partner's ascents. |
