ScottP Posted September 11, 2003 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 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

I don't think it was 5.12. It felt like A1 to me. Quote
ScottP Posted September 14, 2003 Author 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. Quote
