Mercy Me to the Split Pillar

Recommended Posts

The traverse from the 2nd pitch of Mercy Me to the base of the Split Pillar is one of the more funky pitches I have ever done. Both for the leader and the follower. Anyone ever experience this gem? It's been while since I've been that gripped on second balancing my way through near blankness. Chris Martin did am outstanding lead on this one, though following it felt like a lead as well.

 

And then the Split Pillar... wow. What can you say about that?

 

Some eye candy:

Nice pics! That is a sweet crack, innit?

 

My follower on that traverse claimed I hung out for ages in the middle of the crux fiddling with gear; somehow I managed to find just the right hold for balance, I guess.

 

 

What else did you get on up there, bro brah?

The last 10d pitch of cruel shoes is essentially a thin face sport pitch with closely spaced bolts. Pitch 3 is similar in character to the traverse from mercy me to the split, maybe slightly harder but I remember the gear being pretty good.
