stevewong	Itch Aug 24 2009, 2:49 AM EDT Is there any gear now for the crux? Surely E3 if there isn't Post reply Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None
MikeRaine	1. RE: Itch Aug 29 2009, 4:39 AM EDT It's one small nut from what I remember, E3 for me Post reply Do you find this valuable?
milles	2. RE: Itch Aug 31 2009, 1:26 PM EDT Climbed Itch on the 22nd Aug 09, found the gear to be good just by the crux, hard 6a I thought ! top end E2 (one move could not justify upgrading to E3), superb top pitch worthy of 2* Post reply Do you find this valuable?
mihangel	3. RE: Itch Sep 8 2009, 5:42 AM EDT \| Post edited: Sep 8 2009, 5:42 AM EDT There's a good small nut in the actual corner, not in the thin cracks on the left where the peg used to be . If in doubt step right to the good resting ledge where you will find the stub of an old peg. Right next to it you will find a bombproof small nut placement. If you think this is E3 then what grade would you give the E1 6a finish to G String which is very similar in nature but much much harder ? Incidentally I can't see how this is included as a top pitch of Burlesque as it's nowhere near it. It's more logical to do it after finishing Vector or Weaver. From the last stance of Vector climb down the slab on the left and your there. The groove is immediately above you. It's a very good problem and worth doing Post reply Do you find this valuable?
