Exit 38 Tonight

[catbirdseat]

I and several of my friends are going to hang out at Club Paradiso and Amazonia Wall tonight after 5:30 pm, if anyone wants to come climb with us. We climb up to mid 5.10s.

is that exit mid 10-level...or outer space 5.9 level??

Outer space rating thread

 

In my opinion the traverse was way hard and everything else, including the finger crack was easy. I must have been having brain fade or something on the traverse. The traverse felt like 5.10+. The last moves to the belay on that pitch are an honest 5.9.

 

Based on this you must be climbing at least mid 11s at 38. Don't sell yourself short.

Actually there is an Exit 38 5.11a I can top rope. It's the only one I've gotten up outside of the gym.

.11a exit == 5.9

Not quite, but almost. I find it varies. There are some routes that are rated super soft and others that are about right. The super soft ones tend to be the ones that are close to the road.

So is this in Seattle, or where.....Im new to WA sorta speak.

 

Exit 38 to me is REI in Tacoma (yuck).

 

Clue me in.

Agree with CBS, the routes on Amazonia Wall don't seem soft to me.
