Good Book, 5.9R

Good Book, 5.9R

3rd/4th Pitches- 60m- 5.9R/ We combined these pitches with a 70m rope. I can’t tell which section the FAer’s thought was run out or 5.9, so will label both these last sections as such to avoid liability. I personally did not see a 5.9 move or much run out. Loose as hell, but I always thought there was gear as best I can recall. They call this first section a chimney on the topo, but there is not much chimney action. Some stemming maybe and then look for a bolt up and right on a chossy face, that I guess is a bit run out. If I did it again, I would stay in the corner versus following this bolt. Chunks of rock were coming off in my hand. Worried extensively about my belayer on this combination, perhaps it is best not to combine them for rock fall hazard. Finish back left into the recesses of the shaded corner. The Good Book, 5.9R, 6 Pitches, Ajax Peak, Telluride, CO, June, 2010
