Leading the crux pitch 6 of Total Soul (5.10b). Where I am in the shot is the thick of it: a high angle friction section that's only about 15 feet high and well protected by two bolts. Pulling the "overlaps" or roofs is relatively easier (July 18, 2005).

Looks scary!

Friction isn't my thing ... nice looking climb, though!

Re: Looks scary!

Hey Jim,

Thanks and nice job on your WA Pass climbs.

Give it a shot (some friction climbing) - it's addictive and kinda cool :)

This climb is not scary. All the harder pitches are well protectable, mostly with good bolts (or good trad stuff). By the time you hit the 8-ish runout on P7, you're pretty well "warmed up" to slabs and it's not that bad at all.

Thanks Radek - I guess if it is well protected I can bring a cheater stick and get past the crux moves on top-rope!



Sounds like you and Shirley were hanging out at WA Pass too on Sat. We weren't expected rain there but made the best of it. Sunday sure was nice, though.

Once again hit bad weather there. Sucks, sucks, sucks.

Easy enough to do that on the cruxes I think but I also think you wouldn't need to do that Jim.
