Cragging at Crescent Wall (5.7 X - 5.11a, 4 pitches)
CRESCENT WALL- Date: December 6, 2020 (Sun) Partner: Nate Arganbright
- Date: May 27, 2024 (Mon) Partner: Nate Arganbright
Routes (December 2020): Milk Run (5.7 X, 2p), Wintergreen (5.8 X, 1p)
Routes (May 2024): Finger Lickin' Good (5.11a, 1-2p), Arctan Function (5.10c, 1p)
December 2020: This springlike December day was one of my first times back on the rock since an ACL + meniscus surgery 3 months previous. We climbed a couple of moderate X-rated routes (easy for me to follow but a challenge for Nate to lead, although he seemed to cruise up them without even breaking a sweat). I'll have to come back to Crescent Wall when my knee is healed - this is a cool spot.
May 2024: Our goal was to get the rope on one of the classic harder routes (Finger Lickin' Good 5.11a, Pressure Drop 5.11a, or Crescent Arch 5.11c) on Crescent Wall and do some laps. Finger Lickin' Good was the most approachable of these routes (better gear than Pressure Drop, easier than Crescent Arch). Nate led up to the anchor and then we toproped it a few times each. On my third time, I got all the moved without a single hang. We finished the day with Arctan Function, a 1-pitch 5.10c that Nate and Scott had put up in 2020.
