| item10: | About 150' right of Faint's Roof. Large ledge about 20' above the ground (level with the trail leading from Faint's Roof). Anchor at a tree at the base. Follow a right-facing weakness to the ledge. Move left under the roof. Crux--about 5.5, but hard to place pro after leaving the ledge to protect against a fall to the ledge. Got in a good #.5 tricam. Hard to protect from a so-so stance (easy to remain still, hard to move) after the first bulge. Used #7 hex, but a #3.5 or 4 cam would have been better. Move up over a series of bulges. Belay from the exposed block at the top. |

| item10: | Did the 5.7(!?) variation under the root at the start of pitch 3, not the 5.9+ direct finish over the roof. The face was almost dry, but the cracks were wet and slimey, with the key footholds quite wet. I hung on the rope to clean gear at the crux just below the crux. Nice hanging belay with an ugly mess of slings for a rap station/temporary anchor from which to build a real anchor. The traverse at the start of pitch 3 was hard to start--it's a delicate, very exposed traverse about 15~20' long with a move around the corner to the face. |

| item10: | Good lead...some nice placements. Led on double ropes for the first time. Ran P1 and P2 together, but I should have built better anchor in place of the manky hanging belay or run P2 & P3 together. I was slow, and then Graham re-built the anchor at the start of P3. I led P3 in the dark, by headlamp (trying to find the route, hurry, and place pieces that Graham would be able to clean!). Exciting, beautiful, utterly exposed full-rope-length (double ropes) free rappel in the dark. Stunning, but not something to seek out and repeat! |

| Weather: | Nice and sunny on the hike in, then a spot of rain at the mountain hut. The rest of the day threatened rain, but it remained clear. |
| item10: | Tough start--it is a new route (the route setter was working the next climb over) and there was a planned chipped/artifical hold that wasn't placed yet. The start after the first clip, but a definite ground fall) goes into a small alcove (it's too small to be a cave) and then the next clip is reaching out, up, and around left to get "out". Making the clip is harder than the climbing moves. |

| item10: | Took too long to decide where the route really was. The off-hands crack lead to a great chimmney in pitch 1. Got off-route at the start of pitch 2, moved right onto the face after the crack. Did not summit (got too dark!), rapped from the tree about 30' below the summit, but it was too far for a 1x60m rap to the next station. Had to down-climb and scramble to the second station. Good news: I had a headlamp, Bad news| I left my regular glasses in my pack (at the base) and was wearing sunglasses in the dark. Left the parking lot at about 9:30pm. |

| item10: | The weather looked lousy during the drive from Alexandria--lots of rain. We killed time by having a (lousy) breakfast, by which point the sun was coming out. The rock was damp from previous rain, but dried as we rose. However, the wind picked up... I think Pete got slightly off-route at the top and into a short section of off-width hand and arm cracks. |

| item10: | Led on Pete's rack. Wanted smaller nuts (or more aliens). Poor form, and I got a lot of beta to move past the loose blocks and (almost) dyno for the hidden holds (completely out of sight above a lip) at the crux. Maybe a 5.6 top-rope, but it felt much harder on lead. |

| Weather: | Nice and sunny on the hike in, then a spot of rain at the mountain hut. The rest of the day threatened rain, but it remained clear. |
| item10: | Off-width (arm-bar size, rarely fist jam) crack, getting irregular @ top. Fun. Great rock texture, feels very stable (could be lead trad?). |

| item10: | The crack opposite Spranja. Larger crack, more features deep inside. Much less direct. Rusty piton about 4/5 up as a clip before the crux(!). Spent much too long on the overhang to make the last clip, got tired and out of form, but didn't weight the rope. |

| item10: | Klatsko led P1, P3, P5 I led P2, P4, P6 Possibly 2nd ascent of route? P2 (~5a)--easiest to do roped simul-scramble across scree between P1 and start of P2 (~25m). route finding...avoid the thorn bushes in the grooves--pick the correct crack--work up and left slightly P4 (6-, ~5.9)--well protected, exposed traverse left to base of dihedral/crack system I had difficultly getting into crack--ended up doing thin face climbing up/right towards Giorgia route, about 5+m above/right of last pro in traverse--then moved left on ramp into dihedral hard to get any pro until at crack w/in dihedral (~3m along ramp). Slow in this section. dihedral/crack--easily protected, easy-fun (5.7+) climbing. above crack--exposed traverse right into large water groove--protect w. large (#4?) friend @ top of groove before moving up/out to exposed face climbing (good foot holds--like shoes!) to belay under tree in rounded pocket. P5 (5b?) short, up grooves toward top as peak flattens out. Nice cracks. P6 (4a) Poorly defined scrambling/climbing--friction slabs w. very little pro--3 pieces in 45m--toward link up w. Circus route Descent--small rap down to join Circus (left webbing, but well hidden). Long walk/scramble/5.4 downclimb into Anica Cuk gully. Next time...don't do downclimb in hiking boots while wearing pack! Almost as tough as the crux pitch--and worse fall potential! |
