curtveld Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 she pinched the right edge of the like it was an arete, the whole way up. clever, but how did she manage to place gear? Quote
G-spotter Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 She pinched with one hand and stuck a cam in with the other. Not laybacking, but pinching it like it was a tufa. Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Favs right now WA Bolts: Crux pitch on Dark Rhythm WA Crack: The pitch before the offwidth on EF Lexington (climbed off route using the Tooth and Claw finger crack) I have only climbed in OR once. I thought 5 gallon buckets was fun. The only crack I climbed on that trip had a weird name that started with Lyc....... Quote
Tony_Bentley Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 ROTC 5.11c and not 5.11- unless you are talking about on TR. Lead it and it goes at 5.11c. Tim, you are a chump. Quote
colt45 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 ROTC 5.11c and not 5.11- unless you are talking about on TR. Lead it and it goes at 5.11c. Tim, you are a chump. ROTC really did feel like 11a to me but I did take 1 fall: The lower part went fine but in the finishing slot, after fully shaking out on a nice jam I moved to another handjam--and I inadvertantly let the sling from my cam placement get between the back of my hand and the rock so I slipped out of the jam and fell...I then got back on (without really resting, and well below the slot) and climbed through to finish the pitch. I have only tried the pitch once and haven't hiked back up to get a clean ascent so I guess it is lame for me comment on the grade. But FWIW a friend of mine who did successfully onsight on lead also thought ROTC felt closer to 11a than 11c. But anyway, whatever you call the grade it's an awesome pitch! (photo by Sky) Quote
TeleRoss Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Man, I don't really know what the grade is...its probably 11-something, all I know is that it's a damn awesome crack Quote
