Pitch

• P16b-1m

  Pitch one we climbed the 10b sport (not the 5.9 crack) variation. It was dirty, mossy, traversy, and pretty dang fun. I used single length slings on bolts one and two and didn't get much drag at all. At the anchor atop pitch one I pulled the rope through all of the gear then lowered it back down to Vickie, making it a safer follow. Pitch two head up and right through putting green-like terrain to some (whoooo-hooo) cleaner stone. Pitches 3 and 4 are pretty much clean killer bee sport climbing with an emphasis on stemming. Less pumpy than it's neighbor "Misson Impossible". Vic and I felt the bolt location was right on; bolts at all cruxy bits. Young guide calls PT 5.10d so go send it and start feeling good about yourself again. Final notes: Beware of raptor closures (Citadel formation is open in the fall) and PT faces north so it is shady.
