A Day In The Life


Description 

This route has sustained crimps throughout, and is slightly overhanging. A very fun start leads to a great pump as you keep climbing. Near the end you have the option of some more small crimps or a dynamic dead point. Either way you finish, this route is solid for the grade and a very enjoyable climb.


Location 

Begin by starting at the small tree/bush and climbing out the right side of the pod in the middle of the wall. Continue up to the anchors through a series of crimps.


Protection 

Several bolts to the chain anchors.

How do people below 6-ft do this route? I felt like I did 4-5 really long deadpoints in a row before getting to the top and I'm 6'3". The first big throw after the 2nd bolt is pretty awesome, but I was at full extent wondering how the vertically challenged would snag that one. I didn't see any other chalk except way out right for the first throw.

well, the guy in the photos is vertically challenged- under 5'6", if i recall (just how short are you, art?)....

i remember that route being annoying at the start, but once you got past the 2nd bolt, it wasnt too bad. dont recall it being overly reachy, though.

i'm 5'9 and found no issues with this route. there is definitely no need to dyno. I enjoyed the movement, especially the start. just smear right and use that pinch feature for balance as you reach up out of the dish to the start of the juggies.
