BETA PHOTO: Bad Faith 5.9


Description 

The climb is the first line of bolts to the left of the main area, after the large mossy section.

Awkward climb, bolts don't follow the flow of the rock features; stay left. Cruxy bottom leads to poor anchor placement at the top.


Protection 

6 bolts and 2 chain anchors

Yeah, it's funky but the climbing is pretty good. It's a much better warm-up than Caress of Steel, for me.

Can anyone tell me who put up the routes to the left of Bad Faith? The one directly left of it is a nice route. Whoever bolted it did a good job.

Technical, wandering climb. The polish on this route bumps it up easily into the low 5.10 range.

Awkward moves in some places with a very reachy finishing move

It seems like this year I am redoing all the climbs I did not particularly care for in the past. This is another one that I have grown to really like. It really is a good route and I think it can be done without much wondering from side to side as I have done it in the past. It is certainly a nice warm-up for the other routes at the crag.

Only 5.9 I've been on that makes use of a mono. Great route for a 5.10 leader. Technical climbing which makes the lead a tad bit heady.
