kevbone Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Olsons guide has YW listed as 5.9, if that is the case then the SE corner (which is listed as 5.7) is 5.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'd say it's by and large a 5.7 with an occasional moment of 5.8 (p1), 5.9 (p2, p3), and a 5.10ish one-move boulder problem (p4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So if there is one move of 5.10a. Then it has to be rated 5.10a..... Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, I'd agree with that. But how many people actually do that move versus the slab walk-around to the left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I suppose it's possible the variation of the p4 crux I do is harder than necessary and different from some 5.9 variation I missed that others may do, but it is secure throughout the move though definitely a solid 5.10 move.

JosephH Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wouldn't argue the contrived point by any means given it's a shuffle to the left and you're up. How was it done on the FA? Up and over or stage left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO. 350 feet up with no handholds. Yikes…..super fun move. I think I have gone left 2 times in 14 years. It did take me a while to sack up and lead the 4th pitch because of that move.  Good times to be had.  I give that move 10.a  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 ...350 feet up with no handholds. ... I give that move 10.a There are definitely small, but very positive handholds on the variation I do of it. I agree with the 10a rating on the move, though.
