Curried Recollection at King Arthur's

Postby Dom » Wed May 15, 2013 11:58 am

Marty and I climbed it last night. It's dirty but I thought it was a 2 star climb...certainly comparable, albeit not as good, as Salt N Pepper and 5.8 for Style. As for the pro, there was some everywhere. I stitched it up - G
So I don't understand the PG rating and the 'poorly protected crux' warning in the last guidebook? I also did not find that there was one crux per se. I thought the whole thing was sustained from the ledge to 5' under the tree anchor.

Who has climbed it and what do you guys think about the route? (pro, quality, stars etc.)

I will try to scrub it soon!

Agree with your thoughts. Pumpier than you would think looking at it. Sandbagged at .9. Good exercise in footwork.
Safety third!!!

I always regarded the climb as decent. Especially when it was much cleaner (circa late 90's). I never really understood all the negative comments re. poor pro etc. Anyhow, I agree, it is no 3 star climb but certainly worth a go.

As far as a grade goes? I'd subjectively say 5.9 (not sandbagged).
