Book of Saturday, 5.11

Book of Saturday, 5.11

5th-6th Pitches- 70m- 5.8/ Despite only having 60m ropes, we simul-climbed this combination no worries. These two are the most run out pitches of the route and perhaps one of the reasons why Mountain Project consensus gives this route an R rating. This is also some of the worse rock of the day (but we will definitely reserve top honors for the last pitch). Move right and enter the wide chasm and mostly face climb left to right to left on fragile face through loose rock. A few cracks exist, but I only placed two pieces besides the spaced out fixed pro. Most of the cracks and nothing more than cracks between blocks. Climb right of the arch and then trend back left above it to a narrow ledge, but still comfortable belay.
