ScottP Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 (edited) I was wondering if anyone has done this route on Wart Wall in the Icicle. I'm no 12a climber, but tr'd it a couple of years ago anyway and found it quite sustained. Is there a crux or is it one of those sustained 11c things that gets a 12a rating because it is sustained?

ScottP Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 What, nobody's done this route? The thing sucks anyway; after the initial corner it's all blind reaches for crimper holds while the feet sketch on porcelin slabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was 5.12. It felt like A1 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Yeah, I got my butt kicked. I wore my fingertips raw slapping and pawing for holds while searching fruitlessly for anything resembling a positive foothold. I don't know 5.12, so A1 works for me.
