Old Man Stipple, 5.10+

Old Man Stipple, 5.10+

6th Pitch- 25m- 5.10+/ This is by far the best (sustained) pitch of the day and what makes this climb worthwhile if in fact it is. Start with a tricky move off the deck up the closed corner. Follow the corner up to below the roof/bulge. Brandon mentions a “hidden crimp” up and left to pull the bulge, but I just hand jammed the crack above and mantled the small roof. Continue up the corner, locating face crimps on sticky limestone on the left side of the relatively closed corner that make for interesting moves until you can easily move up and right of the crack to a comfortable fixed belay.
