[Hide Comment] Led this in mid-Dec 2015, looked brand new and took a few chossy chunks for myself. As more people climb it will be interesting to see how it changes as there was a lot more that seemed to want to come off on my careful way up. Also, one of the bolts was sticking waaaay past the hanger, about 1.5" out. I tried unscrewing and helping it back in but it seemed bottomed out, hoping this was fixed.

Super fun lead, bolts well placed considering the dips and dives of the rock, carefully done to protect the rope from too much friction.

Totally hop on this if you're in the area. Take a lot of draws and use a 70m (if I remember correctly). Start on the ramp on the left of where you step up and into the steep part. If you're ok with runouts, don't bother clipping too low or bring an alpine. Next time I go I'll send more beta. Jul 12, 2017

[Hide Comment] Last bolt before anchors in questionable spot; might be a hazard when you head to the chains as a fall would pendulum you into adjoining rock formation since it’s quite left of the finish. Consider skipping it and do the 15’ run out to the finish. I think it made the route a tad easier as you omitted one strong move. Excellent climb but some of the holds will break off in time (PG13). So it’s going to get harder. There is one V3ish move after the large chicken heads, so 5.11a is fitting. Most of it is 10c. Apr 30, 2018

[Hide Comment] I brought a few alpine draws but wished I'd extended almost everything to cut down on drag for when I went around the corner. Apr 30, 2018

[Hide Comment] Brought 1 sling for last bolt on the slab and 2 more for the last 2 bolts before rounding the corner to the anchors. All the holds were solid. If there was choss in the past, it has cleaned up. Felt like 10.c with a 3 move V2 crux 3 bolts before the top. Huge holds to clip off of at every bolt. Very safe and very fun. Nov 21, 2020

[Hide Comment] I hate to be the person to say this, but I think either the rating is pretty sandbagged or some holds broke off. This was a fantastic climb, and super unlike other climbing in the Hills - steep, gymnastic moves on crazy features with some awesome exposure up high. However I and my partners thought that the beginning section felt a bit harder than 10c for sure, and that the crux felt closer to ~11c. Go do this climb, it's awesome, but I think an 11a leader might have some trouble. And extend some of the draws, as other commenters mentioned. Dec 15, 2020

[Hide Comment] I did a combination of this and Banana in a Shotglass, which was super fun. I went up the steep scoops and huecos and stepped right to join the crack at a section of perfect hands before heading out right on the finishing face section. The last bolt seems out of place on Banana Hammock. I'd give this 3 stars and call it 5.10c/d. Jan 20, 2021

[Hide Comment] Not many sends on this thing, seems to be getting fewer onsights as time goes on? Oct 22, 2022

[Hide Comment] Reclimbed it this weekend. Midway up the overhang you move left to a large fin. There’s no choss but the fin may not be there long if not climbed on carefully. The last moves on the overhang involve bumping up a very positive but very crumbly feeling jug rail. The crux was definitely moving left to clip the bolt before the rail and then getting back into position to continue the climb. 11.a? Apr 22, 2024
