Leading the nice, easy crack that is Theresa's Lingerie (5.9) on the Middle East Wall at Vantage, WA (March 2010).
In March of 2010, Shirley and I spent a Saturday climbing the moderate routes at the chilly Middle East Wall in Vantage. We climbed the classic
Sex Party (5.10a),
The Elders (5.10a),
Theresa’s Lingerie (5.9) and
Slim And Curvy (5.10b…a one move wonder). All the lines were quite nice climbing-wise and were on perfect rock. That night we headed down to Smith where on Sunday Shirley sent
Kunza Korner (5.10c) and
Screaming Yellow Zonkers. A great weekend of climbing.
