Description
Not the best route in the world, but certainly not the worst either.
Better than its been described, General George Custer is an odd line to say the least. Lacking the continuity of its neighbors, this climb's awkward and unsteady feel will begin to grow on you after the third bolt. Teeter your way slowly up the route using pinches, edges, crimps, and chips. Maintaining balance and opposition will be a must on this fragile journey. Originally rated 5.10, opinions may vary.
