Galactic Cannibalism, 5.10b

Galactic Cannibalism, 5.10b/ One of my favorite routes at Black Rocks north, located in between Moses Had a Stick Clip, 5.10a and Dark Matter, 5.10c. A classic on lead, sustained finger pocket 40'er. Eases up towards the top. Middle is the crux. Four bolts to cold shuts. Black Rocks, Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, St. George, UT, February 3, 2007

Re: another one

I don't know Charles. Bottom line is I can lead 5.10 sport climbs all day, but with trad gear, multi pitch alpine days at 5.10 is a huge deal for me and definitely at my limits. cclaude, pvalchev and I did McTech Arete in the Bugs this past summer and it takes a lot more stamina and guts to lead 5.10 on long walls with packs on. Chuck (cclaude) is a true climbing artist though.
