Mom's Fears, 5.10a

2nd Pitch- 60m- 5.8/ If one of your ropes is not a true 60m, you might have to simul-climb this pitch just a bit. Run up the easy left facing corner (not 5.8) to a right facing corner on solid rock below a roof. There is a bolt on the left wall. Climb up the corner, clipping the bolt and traversing (crux of the pitch) over the mini arête of the left wall to easier ground. With solid double rope technique, it would have been best to only have clipped the right rope to this point to avoid serious rope drag. The rock above now is precariously loose and in large chunks. Take special care to not dislodge one of these killers on your partner who has little room to navigate below. You finally arrive at a large ledge with a fixed belay.
