James on one of the Trilogy

Description Face climb on edges through fractures and broken cracks with great feet. Placing gear is a little pumpy. Don't get sucked left - head up and a little right, intersecting the little roof on the right. Seems like you wind up placing gear at your chest/waist a lot.
Protection TCU's or aliens and cam's to #2 camalot. A double set of smaller gear is nice. You don't really need all of them, but the options are nice. You have to nail the gear but its all there and better than you think when you're standing on the ledge getting psyched to commit to starting. A proud, very worthy line.

| Wow! What a lead Tenesmus. Not yet. A solid route with impeccably sharp edges and a nice pump to boot. I'll go back for my lead. |

| Oh boy, the gear on this one is so funky to get to sit right. The climbing is not difficult, but its feels like 10d as you pump yourself silly trying to fandangle some small tcu into a horizontal. I felt good about most of the gear once it was cursed into place, but this isn't Goodros folks. The bottom section sews up well, but the top 30 feet on the lower angle section is R for sure, but felt about 5.8. |
