Heavyweight Contender, 5.10b

2nd Pitch- 40m- 5.9/ This was the crux pitch of the route in my opinion. Move up and left past two bolts to enter a significant right facing dirty and wet corner (July). Stem up this corner passing several bolts higher up placing larger gear in the muddy corner on the way. Towards the end, enter the off width to overcome the roof, there is a bolt on the outer edge, but not needed as you seemed to have plenty of 1”-2” placement opportunities deep in the crack. I suspect this bolt is for those unwilling to do the off width and would rather layback this section. Continue up easier ground to the fixed ring bolt belay.

Looking at this photo

You were totally off route this is not Heavy Weight Contender I think you are on a three pitch climb to the right Cosoloitude you missed the 10d arete pitch to start. Heavy weight is 30m left of this line. The description is actually correct your is not.
