Science Friction

Post by goodguy »

So...... Eric and I went to Roadside Friday and worked Johnny's route, the one left of five finger discount.

Eric sent it and I fell numerous times AFTER getting through the crux!
anyway, this thing is awesome. Its 12b/c, 7bolts plus anchors.

Nice job Eric!
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

The bottom is definitely the tough part and it is really just involves slapping your hands up the arete and pasting your feet. It is a really fun climb and I owe it all to John for seeing the line and bolting it. Definitely a three-star classic.

we gotta give mad props to goodguy for the excellent belays and the timely short ropes in hopes I would fall off of the route before he could send it.
