CFD+ 5.9, 310m, 10 pitches

View to pitch 4 on CFD+

Had a great of climbing with Carlos. We meet for a fun 10 pitch sport route on Friday August 30. Weather was cool and a little windy, but overall good conditions. We had a lot of fun on “CFD+” a 5.9, 310m, 10 pitch fully bolted sport route. Pitch four (5.8, 40m) was the crux. Sustained 5.8 moves with many delicate foot placements and interesting hand pulls. Carlos led pitch four. I led pitch five, graded 5.9, real grade, but short burly wall right off the station, overhang with big blocky holds, super fun. The crux on pitch five was burly, but short with excellent hands and feet, overall easier than the more sustained 5.8 pitch. The upper pitches were awesome slabby 5.6-5.7+ moves for a few pitches. Well bolted and walkoff. Great day out. Tons of fun.

Good times.

Upper pitches, super fun cruising.
