Matt_Alford Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Agreed on the 5.7 r rating on this one. I took a 50 foot factor two fall on the second pitch about 25 years ago. The tree in your first photo and a good belay kept me from much worse outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so scared on the first pitch that I didn’t even notice the second one being badly protected, though it totally was in retrospect.
