First Ascent of “Climbing the Walls” (5.10b)

Writes Robert Pepper of climbing the walls of his house recently,"3 days of social distancing and the outside of our house looks like a real good climbing gym. At 40’ long we got a right traverse, a left traverse, a left then right traverse, a right then left traverse. Hell that’s 240’ of continuous 5.10+ without thinking!"
