Iron Messiah, III, 5.10c

4th Pitch - 5.9/

I thought this was quite a bit easier than the 1st pitch sport route, but then I like stemming, cracks and chimneys. I am not sure I would rate this pitch any more difficult than pitches 5 and 6 even though it has a more difficult published grade. Real aesthetic pitch up blocky fragmented cracks than run parallel to the dihedral. Easy to place gear. Another hanging belay to the left in a small indenture.
