The Scruffening – 5.13d


FA: Graham McGrenere - 2022-08-22

Description:

The route between No Way to Say Goodbye and You Never Know. The difficulty lies in the first 4 bolts, where the rock is constantly shedding. The rock improves up high but the difficulty eases.

    Cool little boulder problem on this one. The rock is forever exfoliating so who knows how long the holds will stay. Broke something every day I was on it. IMO the opening sequence is comparable in difficulty to Down System crux but then you get the monster jug rest, hence 13d. Could be 13c or 14a... felt hard then just did it. I ran the rope through a draw on the first bolt of You Never Know to keep it out of my way for the opening sequence
