"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Echoes, 5.10-, PGWith Will and Corina. When rapping, it looks like Full Circle is a decent, much cleaner, route. If I did Echoes again, I would climb Full Circle to the traverse ledge vs going up the gully. That would actually make for a decent day of climbing. The 2nd pitch is of full value at the grade, traversing the crack for a full pitch length. The first pitch has a slight crux near the end. The third pitch has exposure but is below grade. The 4th pitch has a move or two at the grade, but is mellow in comparison to the 2nd pitch.
