Children of the Corn

One of the things Tim and I were most excited for in Ibex was trying Children of the Corn (5.13a). This route gained some fame when Tim Kemple soloed this and in the process made himself sound and look a bit foolish (in my opinion) during a section of Dosage 3.  It is essentially a very steep crack of almost every size with reasonable jams that has a face climbing section at the top that is hard cause you are pumped.  While we did all the moves, neither one of us sent. But we certainly had a great time trying such an overhanging trad route.  Here are some photos.
