Zick - Zack

Climbing "Zick-Zack," a grade 6 route (UIAA scale, presumably), was an exercise in technical precision. The route's namesake feature, a distinct zig-zagging crack or series of holds, demanded thoughtful footwork and deliberate hand placements. Maintaining momentum was key, as the crux moves involved intricate sequences where a single slip could be costly. The rock quality, while solid overall, required careful scrutiny to avoid unexpected holds breaking. The satisfaction of topping out after navigating the challenging crux section was immense, a rewarding culmination of focus and effort. Without knowing the exact location and rock type, generalizing about the climb's specific characteristics (e.g., its exposure, the type of rock, etc.) is difficult, but the technical nature of a grade 6 route always promises a good workout.
