Description
Acid Baby is one of the finest alpine rock climbs in the Stuart Range. Providing seven pitches of traditionally protected climbing on amazing rock, this is a trip you'll never forget. Not only is Acid Baby one of the only 5.10s in the range, with the exception on its neighbor the Valkyrie; it is quite sustained, with the easiest pitches being 5.9. Add in one of the longest weather windows, and being located in an incredibly scenic part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness; and what do you get? An unforgettable trip.
P1 (5.9) - Climb cracks to a corner, and belay on a ledge.
P2 (5.10+) - Ascend a steep corner to easier cracks.
P3 (5.9) - Climb the slab upward, than traverse right.
P4 (5.10) - Go up splitter hands to a ridgeline, then traverse left.
P5 (5.10+) - Climb the corner to a roof, then continue the corner.
P6 (5.10-) - Ascend cracks to a belay under the prominent prow.
