βeta: A very strange, somewhat weird, and perhaps unique route; it’s a crack climb with almost no crack climbing! As other have noted, it’s mostly a techy jamboree of ‘crisp’ holds, crimpy face climbing and sketchy, often strenuous bridging. Not sure how to square the suggested grades with our experience. Sport grades make no sense at all. For me, by pitch it’s: E2 5b, E1 5b, E2 5b/5c, HVS/E1 5a/5b ( we didn’t climb pitch 5, started too late in the cold). Overall it really is both a challenge and a beneficial experience . We rapped direct down the line and paid special attention to avoid ropes getting jammed in the cracks | ||
