Old Scratch

Start seated on crimps smaller than the crux holds of "I Think I Can" (V9). Find the body position to pull up and finesse to the next set of micro crimps. Deadpoint or finesse into another horizontal, gaining better holds. From here it's a mostly secure high ball finish. I climbed strait up and found the terrain manageable.

As for the grade... passing climbers mentioned this route is rarely done and suggested that the V5 grade might be off by as much as 4points. I sincerely doubt this but I will say that the moves felt much harder than V5. Send it and add to the mtproject consensus! I think Old Scratch would see more ascents if the grade were higher... but isn't that a bit of a strange idea? Regardless of the points it's the same great climb, offering lessons in body position dependent crimp strength and highball confidence. This climb, and all climbs for that matter, offers a unique experience. For me, it was the experience I was looking for. 

Old Scratch is located on the wall just left of the cave entrance to Spanky and Latin for Daggers. Old Scratch starts roughly in the center of this wall. Look for orange streaked horizontals.
