[Hide Comment] The beginning looks runout, but it's very easy at the start. The route is very well protected when you need it up in the higher sections. Seemed a bit easier than A Game of Inches. Oct 1, 2018

[Hide Comment] Hmmm the second photo with the climber in the blue shirt is a different climb, I don’t know what climb but not the same pillar. The first photo looks correct and matches rock photos from crack in the back. Also climbing only the crack to the left was fun and is a decent option for a new trad leader who isn’t that comfortable jamming. Not sure what it’s called but definitely seemed easygoing maybe 5.6?

[Hide Comment] Yeah the photo looks to be the neighboring 10C and should be deleted. the climber probably thought falsies was super super sandbagged, eventhough vantage 10C is basically 5.9 for the rest of washington haha Apr 15, 2019

[Hide Comment] The second photo it looks like they are on "a game of inches" , as silhouettes is to the left in the picture. Apr 16, 2019

[Hide Comment] If you climb this on the arete, it's a much different climb, and feels harder than a 5.9 (especially a Vantage 5.9). Lots of things that look like jugs, but they're really slopers in disguise. If you stay left (easier to do on TR so you don't have to get the bolts that are all on the other side of the pillar) closer to the crack it's a super easy climb up with a ton of good hands and feet.

[Hide Comment] Very different climb on TR vs. on Lead, since on TR you can use a lot more of the juggy holds to the left/on the face of the pillar. If you were to use the same holds on lead, you'd be too far from the clips on the right side of the route; you're stuck climbing only the arete. If only climbing the arete/on lead, I'd actually give this climb a (vantage) 5.10a. Otherwise when allowed to use the holds on the right of the route it's cleanly a (vantage) 5.9 Sep 24, 2023
