Is this pitch harder when its cold?

Harder? - I took the whipper anyway.

Enty - this pitch was given C3F but I found no fixed gear on the entire pitch. I hammered two s/o angles. so I assume it was A3. How did you find it? the route overall was a lot less fixed than I had imagined.

Steve. I did it clean. I went out from the last bolt about 20 ft on inverted cam hooks, nothing else - then one poped and I took a monster swing back left nearly clatering Kris. Next go about halfway across I got a no5 HB offset to disappear into the crack. It seemed bomber and gave me enough confidence to go all the way to the Nipple on cam hooks. I think maybe I got a tiny Alien in there too. Really pleased to clean it despite the whipper!

I forgot to say regarding the fixed gear - there's a short bolt ladder up from the belay and a single bolt which is hard to clip right at the end of The Nipple.
Above The Nipple I hand placed beaks.

Above The Nipple I hand placed beaks.
Mescalito this year seemed easier than this buy with more hooking. Get on it

I'm lying - once I'd climbed round the Nipple I climbed the crack to the belay on hand placed beaks - then it started to go dark and I hammered a beak - only time on the route I used the hammer - gutted!
