Pitch One of The Glass Menagerie 5.13 (C2) ~ Aid Climb Looking Glass, NC

My first real aid route

[@GreenGloop]

Beautiful climb! Looks thin!

[@climbingbrosNC]

It was great! First real aid climb for me. Learned a lot by watching some of your videos!

[@climbingforlife1]

Although this pitch may be good on aid its even better freed. Truly a great pitch of free climbing at only 11c although it feels closer to 11a or even lower to me.

[@climbingbrosNC]

Yeah I bet. Just wanting to work on my aid game for when I go back to Yosemite so freeing it will be for the future at some point

Did you happen to do all pitches of The Glass or just the first? Would be great to get footage of all pitches! I've done first 3 pitches and we had to bail from heat exhaustion @P4. :/ Do you carry nuts with you at all? I used a bunch where you did the beaks IIRC. Thank you so much for the post! Subbed.

Oh one more thing... on the first attempt there was a snake in the giant cave @ 3:20 We noped out hard lmao.

@@Sicnus thanks for the comment! We had to bail off of pitch two because of weather (we got there late). Did you guys do the 5.8 rotten traverse pitch for p2? We did the reign of fire pitch instead for p2 which seemed better than doing the traverse. I believe I had a full rack of nuts but just wanted to place some more beaks to get experience. Glad I didn’t see the snake! Also, if you’re looking for a partner send me an email at [e-mail]. Still looking for aid partners
