Hot Wee Wee, 5.9

Hot Wee Wee, 5.9

1st/2nd Pitches- 80m- 5.9/ I advise free soloing up the first 20m. Start out in a corner to the left which tops out on a ledge that leads to the main corner (slung block). Then rope up and do a full 60m pitch starting out in the awesome cracks below the small alcove/box located between a chossy corner to the left and the main corner to the right. The pro is a bit delicate at first. Once in the box, make a move at the grade up and right into the corner. Continue up the corner at a lesser grade, but fun climbing to the top of this section of the corner and to another slung block on a long ledge that leads right in continuation of the corner.

Re: free soloing?

ah, photo misleading Liba...I would free solo to where I took the photo here so one could combine the first two pitches! Pretty big ledge I am standing on....tell you what, dentist really screwed up my mouth before I left the states, so glad my CO Dr. prescribed the appropriate pain meds! Come see us, 4 spare bedrooms in this place! Cheers
