My Favorite 5.10
Fat City (5.10+), Shawngunks, New York5.10 is the vanilla ice cream of American climbing. There are tens of thousands of 5.10s out there, ranging from elegant beauties to piles of choss. They can be long, short and in between. Trad, sport and sporty. They are a measure of competence for climbers new to the sport and the official gateway into the double-digits of our grade scale. They are incredibly versatile—and, depending on where you climb, 5.10s are either warm-ups, or what you warm up for. Descent: Walk back (climber’s right) on the trail to 44/55.
