Looks easier

Is this a 5.9 spot? It looks easier on this photo. Can't wait to climb it!

Re: Looks easier

Misha - Not only is this 5.9, but it's the first 5.9 climbed in the US. I think this photo is of one of the easier moves on the second pitch. Just out of the picture is a more difficult section. Here's some more info on this route:

Scroll down to Open Book.

This is the 1st pitch

This is near the top of the first pitch. The alcove is just above the flake the climber is sidepulling.

Yup, first pitch

The first 5.9 section is just below the flake. The flake itself is pretty easy.
