Description
The true biscuiteer sees through the choss to the holds underneath, kind of like that matrix guy, Theo. They know that some holds, not unlike life, won’t last forever, but holds off-route may last even less so. As such, the true biscuiteer sticks near the bolt line, knowing that there are holds there at the grade. The true biscuiteer forgets a helmet, but knows it’s best if the belayer wears theirs anyways. The true biscuiteer relishes crystal filled, sort of sharp pockets, and accepts the chossy roof for what it is, knowing that the top-out could be worth it. Most of all the true biscuiteer knows that if a hold looks like choss and is covered in dirt, that’s because it probably is. Though a crowbar has been diligently applied, the true biscuiteer knows that only so much limestone can be exhumed, and to crimp with discretion. Such is life.This route now has a 2nd pitch (double rising, ~5.11), but due to some giant blocks in the first 2 bolts, should maybe be avoided for the time being. It is very good, but biscuiteers should take it on with extreme discretion.
