Show Beta
-
Lex: Right hand crack glove and right toe hook crux beta were KEY -
nolanfield: To come out of the roof, I put my left foot on the glassy triangle, right hand on the handlebar, left on the higher crimp, then put a right toe hook in the hole where you previously had a knee bar. Lock off on the left crimp and you can go statically to the jug.
-
jordanchow: After rounding the corner and escaping the steep, toehook to get to the mega jug. -
M-Bae: SHIRT UNDERWEAR! toehook in knee (fang) bar hole and side knee bar at top where the rock on the outside is broken

High quality climbing on this one. Solid intro to the amp. Helps to be able to trust your kneebars :)

Right knee bar kill count is high

Used a knee pad and a crack glove. Really fun! -
2024-10-06Tried this once at the end of last weekend's trip. Really nice climb and even better beta from Michelle -
First tried this route like 12 years ago. But actually projected it 3 or 4 sessions this summer. A must do!
-
2024-06-30Surprise send today. Didn’t feel like I had good enough beta for the end, but my desire to not have to climb it again won out as I screamed my way to the anchors.
-
2024-05-05Thought I wass gonna fall before the last crux but the knee bar saved me. Shook off just enough for the last section. I found it very endurancy. -
-
Cool moves, but not too hard after having done subdivision.
-
Boom
-
Tugging tufas because I'm too slow to tug salmons (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
-
-
Toehook beta was clutch
-
3rd go, first try of the day and no warm up. Needed to get up early to catch the cooler temps. What an absolute classic, all-time. Really don’t have anything bad to say about it

-
Super fun crux move! -

Tried this 2 years ago with no kneepads and couldn't send, then tried it with kneepads this time around but at the end of my 2nd day on, it felt hard still lol. 2nd go of the day. -
-
First go this year! Psyched! Didn’t climb it smooth at all but damn it’s fun. Got so pumped.

3rd go. Now for Subdivisions. -
Finally found my sea legs. -
-
-
2018-08-04Second shot. Blew my OS right at the top. -
Nice route! super sustained all the way through. That foot is so polished and shiny it gives me anxiety to stand on it.
-
Super fun!! -
Such a cool route! Crux for me was the battle from the last bolt to the anchors!

Some nice moves to a fun crux at the top. -
What a wonderful climb! My first Horne Lake 5.12. Sent a lot quicker than I was expecting. The climbing after the last bolt is so rad, along with the entire route. 5 star climb in my books.
-
Just great. -

flashed it thanks to eli's impeccable running beta :)
-
Good route. Had to remember how to climb limestone. The top was my crux
-
Gah squishy anchors.
-
Good start to the trip! No knee bars used..
-
Retro flash. Found the top scary 7 years ago so avoided it until tonight. Not scary anymore, go figure 😉☺️ -
Great climb but awkward at the anchors.
-
Second go -
2nd go. awesome route -
This route is my nemesis. I'm embarrassed to even record how many attempts it took. I'm giving it a personal grade of 13a. -
-
Big moves, mostly big holds ... good fun. -
Awesome climbing. Fun holds. Lots of pulling. -
-
Dynamic hand jam!
-
Great intro to Horne!

Got it 7th go. Stair building warm up was the key. Double 'scend day with Quarter Century Girl.Double rainbow - what does it mean? :)
-
-
So many kneebars, so much fun. -
Wicked climb, use the knee bars
-
2011-05-312nd go, cut my finger on my first attempt and couldn't finish. Nice route, really like the beginning.
-
2011-05-23soft with knee bar pad.

Really good
-
A phenomenal route spoiled by grunge and grit above the first anchors. Needs a retro scrub and traffic. Caveat: bring a long draw. Also, don't lower off the end of your rope.
-
-
Pumpy, but very good!

Did this climb a year after I had my second kid! The crux was the top bit for me as I found a sneaky toe hook to make the first crux feel pretty manageable.

Was my first 12 in amphitheatre, and opened new doors. Still my favourite.
-
Some outstanding movement! Clipping the anchors was my crux.
