Crazy Doctor – 5.12a


17m / 56ft, 5 bolts

Description:

This excellent thin and technical slab is a spicy lead. The name is a reference to enhanced small features found on the wall prior to bolting - not by the bolter.

FA: Randy Kielbasiewicz (mid-1990s)

    3rd go. I Used the left side pull but not clear to me how much easier it makes it- you still have to go through all the terrible crimps and thumb stuff which is a fun crux to work out! Going left just gives and extra rest, but going only direct you'd be able to recover in jugs after crux anyway...

    I went straight up the face avoiding the jugs out left, good flow and technical crimps. I think going left is fine as well at a lower grade but it takes away from the quality and difficulty.

    Did what I believe to be the intended 12b line without climbing left to skip the crux. Still felt a little soft for 12b.

    contrived. use the rest or holds out left within reach? way easier. stay on the face, much harder.
