Hoarse Platitudes – 5.13a

Description:

Fun, cruiser climbing up Mantis, then break right to a rest before a long boulder problem getting established in a shallow corner. Then another thin, techy crux up high. Big whipper potential and a couple of challenging clips makes this an airy route.

    2nd try. For me, the weird bolting on this distracted from the quality of the climbing.

    Dreamt about this route for four years after coming close but getting skunked by cold weather. Was worth every bit of the wait!

    One hung on second try then took 6 more tries to send. An amazing route!

    No real hard pulls, just techy and heady. Thanks to Marcel for the spoon-fed beta at the top. Felt low in the grade to me. 2nd go.
