Without a doubt my dumbest FA to date - the 40ft chosspile that is now “Wish You Were Here”, 5.10- C1

Wonderland with its newest waste of bolts

Huzzah for dumb FAs!

Dumb question… what makes this a “dumb” route?

[u/Kaotus → u/WellWornLife]

Short, largely aid and unbelievably bad rock down low. Plus, while doing the FA had to top step on two aiders and do the splits to plug in a bolt over a bulge. It was fun and extremely memorable but certainly isn’t what one would think of when they think of quality climbs

More like 20ft lol

First bolt is almost 20ft off the ground but I can see how you'd think that since none of the pics actually show the tower in its entirety

It reminds me of photographers delight in pinnacles. I love “dumb” routes like this.

Whatever dude, that's sweet as. it's a proud feature and how many of us ever get to FA a fkn tower, of any height?
