1. Franklin Gorge 98 routes in Crag

seasonality

Summary:: Sport,? and Trad
Long/Lat: -79.322003, 38.666496
Description:: Located entirely on PRIVATE LAND, single pitch, mostly sport, some mixed & trad.
Access Issues:: All known routes at Franklin are located on PRIVATE LAND, and therefor, access should not be taken for granted. Keeping a low profile is of utmost importance. The landowner & his family hunt on the plateau above the routes, so please apprise yourself of the State & Local hunting seasons, and act accordingly.
Approach:: Your typical Potomac Highlands approach: Short & Steep. Staying on the trail is imperative, as even a slight mis-step causes a good bit of negative impact. Always remember that a hillside trail is much stronger on the uphill edge, and much weaker on the downhill edge. Approach times are from 10 seconds to about 15 minutes.
Where To Stay:: Brandywine Recreational Area, Thorn Springs Campground, Star Hotel, Thompson's Motel
Ethic:: Dogs are not welcome (PRIVATE LAND), Leave No Trace, stay on trails, you-damage-trail-you-fix-it-NOW, no trundling onto road, no Quick-Links, no tick marks, clean up your chalk, clean up your tape, no chipping, no theft, no defacement, use camouflaged hardware, inspect & replace worn carabiners, respect red tags, respect hunters & hunting seasons, no top-roping through fixed gear, etc., etc.
History:: Sport climbing is known to have come to Franklin in the early 1990's, by then Harrisonburg local John Burcham. Other key developers are believed to be: Eddie & Tracy Begoon, Howard Clark, George Powell, Darrel Hensley, & Mike Artz, along with various others. Later & continued development was brought by Michael Fisher & Michael Gray. Later development at the River's Bend area is believed to be by Matthew Fanning, Matthew Behrins, Sam Powell, et.al.

1	Fat Boy's Pork Palace Trad, corner, a set of cold shut anchors has recently been added. FA: Unknown,	5.7	Trad	Michael Gray 1 years ago This AIN'T Fat Boys Pork Palace. That name was given to another route over a decade before this ... Jonathan Horst 8 years ago ok, but some loose stuff
2	Limestoned First sport route to be established at Franklin. 6 bolts, ring anchors. FA: John Burcham,	5.11b	Sport 62ft
3	Wild Wild West This route links the first 3 bolts on "Route of All Evil", to the last bolt on "Limestoned". 6 bolts, plus ring anchors. A grade of 5.10- is more accurate. FA: Michael Fisher,	5.10b	Sport 62ft
4	Route of All Evil 7 bolts, shuts. 5.9 if you use flex flake, and bypass the upper arete & 7th bolt. FA: Michael Fisher,	5.10d	Sport 7	J. Feher 4 years ago Fun climb. Pulled the roof at the top without moving right to the arete, thus skipping the last b...
5	Lunar Debris 4 bolts, shuts. FA: George Powell,	5.9	Sport 50ft , 4	Saloca 4 years ago Good warm-up with many stemming opportunities.
6	Odysseus To the right of Lunar Debris. 5 bolts, ring anchors. FA: Mike Gray, 2007	5.10a	Sport 52ft , 5	Saloca 4 years ago Very hard on the bottom, very sharp holds on top. Not my favorite. If you see the first ascension...
7	Two Blind Mice 6 bolts, ring anchors. High quality, and very sustained. FA: Michael Fisher, 2007	5.10c	Sport 62ft , 6
8	Squeal Like A Pig 7 bolts, finishing at a set of chains. This is the rightmost route at the Parking Area Wall. Look for the graffiti. 1st bolt & hanger were recently replaced. FFA: John Burcham,	5.10a	Sport 56ft , 7	James Curry 5 years ago Great Route! Ben Browand 6 years ago So out of shape

1.2. Contact Zone 20 routes in Sector

Summary:: Sport,? and Trad

	Route	Grade	Style	Selected ascents
1	Raised by Sasquatch A testy, two bolt route, with FIXE Super Shuts at top.	5.9	Sport 30ft , 2
2	Sticks & Stones To the right of Raised by Sasquatch. 6 bolts, finishing at a set of chains. Don't miss the 4th bolt, although it is somewhat hidden, it is directly above the 3rd. A decent moderate route. FFA: M. Fisher & M. Gray, 2008	5.6	Sport 59ft , 6
3	Days Gone By A trad route, in the corner to the immediate left of Barney Rubble. FA: George Powell,	5.7	Trad
4	Barney Rubble 5 bolts, then traverse right to the anchors of Potential Energy.	5.11b	Sport 46ft , 5
5	Potential Energy On the steep arete, passing 5 bolts, and finishing at a set of ring anchors. An excellent route. Some parties prefer to clip the 1st bolt on "Barney Rubble", to provide added safety reaching the 1st bolt.	5.10b	Sport 50ft , 5	James Curry 6 years ago Great climb with reachy last move: look for left foot nubbin' Jonathan Horst 8 years ago daggum one move...i'll get it later
6	Shizzel This route is located in between Potential Energy and Dynosaurus. FFA: UNKNOWN,	5.12b	Sport 55ft , 8	Thomas Blackford 7 years ago Hard 12b
7	Dynosaurus FFA: Eddie Begoon,	5.12a	Sport 58ft , 7
8	Roofasaurus Another excellent contribution by D. Hensley, bolted on lead. FFA: Darrel Hensley, FA: Darrel Hensley,	5.11d	Sport 62ft , 6
9	Hoss Corner Traditional route, rappel from tree on ledge. FA: unknown,	5.7	Trad
10	The Grey Matter This was an open project, to the right of Roofasaurus, with a proposed grade of 5.11a. The bolts have been installed, and the first ascent was done by Brian D. aka "The Tall Man". No further information is available at this time. FA: Brian D., 2008	5.11a	Unknown
11	Hello 5 bolts, finish at anchors of Lost Planet Airmen. Original topo suggested use of medium cams. A #1 Camalot should be sufficient. FA: Eddie Begoon,	5.10d	Unknown
12	Lost Planet Airmen 6 bolts, ring anchors. FA: Eddie Begoon,	5.11c	Unknown
13	Burcham's Beach 6 bolts, finishing at a set of ring anchors. A bit of a sandbag. Originally rated 5.10a, but current consensus suggests that heavy traffic has polished and/or broken some holds, leaving this route a letter grade or so harder. FA: Howard Clark,	5.10a	Unknown	James Curry 6 years ago awesome climb and pumpy laybacks
14	Aloha Summer 2009: bolt hangers & top anchors replaced. FA: Michael Gray,	5.9	Sport 49ft , 6	James Curry 8 years ago Nice but not 5.9 I don't care what wall you touch or don't touch. Why bolt a perfectly good crac... Jonathan Horst 8 years ago all sorts of good moves on this one
15	Break the Chain 8 bolts, finishing at a set of ring anchors. This route is described by many as an atypical Franklin route, offering a little something different in terms of holds. A very fine route, with cryptic & committing movements. FFA: Mike Artz ?,	5.10c	Sport 59ft , 8
16	route deleted All fixed anchors have been removed from this route, due to the unsafe condition of the original hardware (non-welded 3/8" cold shuts as bolt hangers, lap-links, etc.), and a few close calls. Name of this route is "Deeper Shade of Soul". FA: Mike Artz,	5.10a	Unknown
17	Moment Of Clarity 6 bolts, finishing at a set of anchor chains w/ carabiners. Begin by scrambling onto the ledge above the trail, the 1st bolt can be reached from there. FFA: Michael Fisher, 2006	5.10c	Sport 66ft , 6
18	Eddie's 10c Roof From the trail, scramble up to a book. Climb the book, passing two bolts, and clipping a third at the lip of the roof above. Pull the roof on good holds, and continue up the head wall passing two more bolts, finishing at a set of welded cold shuts. Another great route, and one of the driest at the crag. FFA: Eddie Begoon,	5.10c	Sport 5	Jonathan Horst 8 years ago very good moves..just need more endurance
19	unknown #1 Quite a ways up to the first bolt, with groundfall potential of 50 feet or more. Possibly a mixed route...some bolts, leading to a set of Metolius rap hangers at the top. Little else is known about this route. FA: unknown,	5.9 X	Unknown 82ft , 5
20	Franklinstein 7 bolts, cold shut anchors. Climb the face past two bolts, to reach a very large ledge system. Walk left across the ledge, passing a good bit of loose rock, to reach a bolt at the lip of an overhang. Excellent 5.9ish climbing passes 4 more bolts and ends at a set of cold shuts. FFA: Michael Gray,	5.10a	Sport 62ft , 7	James Curry 6 years ago fun roof. Ben Browand 8 years ago watch loose rock

1.3. Impact Zone 43 routes in Sector

Summary:: Sport,? and Trad
Description:: Located on private land, this is the upper level at Franklin, with a good selection of sport climbs, mostly in the 5.10 range.
Approach:: 5-10 minutes

	Route	Grade	Style	Selected ascents
1	route deleted Route decommissioned in March 2008, due to safety concerns (2nd bolt was falling out, others were "shimmed" with glue).	5.11c	Unknown
2	One For One 3 bolts, with a pair of rings at the top. FA: Darrel Hensley,	5.12a	Sport 30ft , 3
3	Blood, Sweat, & Chalk 9 bolts, finishing at a set of chains. FFA: George Powell,	5.9	Sport 9	Saloca 4 years ago Almost clean. All but the very top to the anchors. Saloca 4 years ago What a great climb! I've done it almost every time I've climbed at Franklin.
4	Almost Heaven 5 bolts, finishing at a set of ring anchors. An obscure route, situated on a ledge system above the trail. FFA: Michael Fisher,	5.10	Sport 5
5	route deleted Bolts were removed on September 6th 2008, as requested by the first ascent party. This route is named "No Stoppin' The Burn". FA: Michael Gray,	5.9	Unknown 30ft
6	unknown #2 One of Franklin's best, but well "hidden" routes. 4 bolts, cold shut anchors at top. FA: Eddie Begoon,	5.11b	Sport 33ft , 4
7	No Weld A little run-out, til you get to the lip. FA: Mike Artz,	5.9	Unknown	James Curry 5 years ago Good, safe with a well protected crux Jonathan Horst 9 years ago use prot - don't runout, fun route
8	Wintermute 6 bolts, fishing at a set of ring anchors. UPDATE: New top anchor bolts were installed, Spring 2009 FFA: Michael Gray, 2006	5.9	Sport 66ft , 6
9	Hand Job 5 bolts, Metolius rap hangers at top. Starting at the trail, climb short vertical face to a BIG ledge, passing one bolt before the mantel. Continue across the ledge, scrambling up low angled rock to the second bolt. Climb steepening rock, passing another bolt or two, gaining a small roof. Clip another bolt, pull the roof, climb a short headwall to reach the anchors. FA: The Bum Guides,	5.9	Unknown	Jonathan Horst 8 years ago little fall at the crux, then no prob
10	Persephone 4 bolts, cold shut anchors. First bolt is very high up, on moderate terrain, but well out of stick-clip range...use your head. FA: Michael Fisher, 2008	5.11b	Sport 62ft , 4
11	Castaways 4 bolts, finishing at a set of welded cold shuts. FFA: Tracy Begoon,	5.8	Sport 43ft , 4	Saloca 4 years ago Fun! Saloca 4 years ago Great route for those leaders who are fairly novice. :)
12	First Aid 4 bolts, plus ring anchors (recently added). FA: Michael Fisher,	5.7	Sport 33ft , 4	Saloca 4 years ago I love this route. So nice and easy. Saloca 4 years ago My first outdoor sport lead. Very easy.
13	unknown #3, AKA: Eddie's Arete 3 bolts, now has ring anchors. A testy little route. FFA: Eddie Begoon,	5.10b	Sport 33ft , 3	Jonathan Horst 8 years ago challenging blind moves around roof
14	Captain Hook It has been reported that, as of August 2010,the top anchors are missing on this route FA: M. Fisher,	5.10d	Sport 39ft , 4
15	Trident 4 bolts, plus ring anchors. A complete top anchor replacement, including bolts, was done on this route on May 3rd 2008. UPDATE: Bolts #3 & 4 were replaced, Spring 2009. FFA: Mike Artz,	5.10a	Sport 56ft , 4	Saloca 4 years ago A bit run out at the top but on very easy holds. Saloca 4 years ago So good I did it again.
16	The Bends 5.11c, this is a left finish variation of Decompression Sickness, pulling through the big roof at the end. 9 bolts, chains at top. A very solid route, another testament to the strength of Mr. Begoon. A strong and rather tall young climber from NC once called this one of the "meatiest" routes at Franklin. FA: Eddie Begoon,	5.11b	Sport 43ft , 9
17	Decompression Sickness 7 bolts + ring anchors. Begin just left of "Barnacle Bill", the run to bolt #2 is definitely a "No Fall Zone". Climb past bolts, tending left after the shake-out, then up to a small roof. Pull the roof and continue up to anchors. FFA: George Powell,	5.10c	Sport 7	Mike Boss Not climbing for a month=poor performance
18	Walk The Plank Start on Barnacle Bill, clipping the first 3 bolts, then go left to a good rest, and then through overhang. An excellent route. FFA: John Burcham,	5.11b	Sport 7	Jonathan Horst 6 years ago great route - need more finger strength to do crux clean
19	Barnacle Bill 9 bolts, ring anchors. All remaining cold shuts were replaced with standard hangers in 2008. FA: Begoon/Clark,	5.11b	Sport 69ft , 9
20	Anchors Aweigh Starts on ledge, to the right of Barnacle Bill. 4 bolts, ring anchors at top. FA: George Powell,	5.9	Unknown	al campos onight in flip-flops
21	Super Amazing Sea Monkeys Situated on the large but exposed ledge, climb the multi-teired overhangs, to a bolt in the last tier. Continue over the lip, and finish at a set of ring anchors. A nice, gymnastic route. FFA: John Burcham?,	5.10d	Sport 33ft , 5	Terence Kudo 6 years ago The roof area is a lot of fun. Long V1 boulder problem. The move to the anchors is sketchy and th... James Curry 6 years ago Poo. Another crap route at franklin
22	Keelhauled To the right of Super Amazing Sea Monkeys, 4 bolts, uses anchors of Belly of The Whale. FA: Darrel Hensley,	5.10d	Unknown
23	Belly of The Whale This route was chopped on March 12th 2009, by the first ascentionist, but has since been re-equipped by same. FA: Michael Gray,	5.8	Unknown	Megan 8 years ago Damn evil cold wet rock Terence Kudo 8 years ago Might be better if the top half wasn't wet from rain
24	Skid Mark This is a burly trad route, located about 15 yards to the left of Neptune. Climb moderate terrain to reach the big roof. Climb the slitter crack out the roof, and follow the crack up the short headwall. There is no fixed protection, save for a set of Metolius rap hangers at the top. FFA: Sam Powell,	5.12b	Trad
25	Wasp Stop All hangers removed in March 2008, due to safety concerns (aging & corroded bolts). FA: Eric Anderson,	5.9	Unknown	Terence Kudo 8 years ago Bring white chalk to "X" numerous loose holds Megan 8 years ago Scramble mank choss with a couple of metres of climbing thrown in.
26	Neptune	5.10b	Unknown
27	Aqualung Said to have been the original benchmark for 5.10a at Franklin. Left start is the original line (7 bolts, ring anchors). A right start (3 bolts) was added later.	5.10a	Unknown
28	unknown #5, variation start to Aqualung A right start variation to Aqualung, 3 bolts, then finish on Aqualung. FA: Ed Begoon,	5.10d	Trad
29	Shipwrecked 5.9, 7 bolts + ring anchors. Very high quality. FA: George Powell,	5.9	Sport 75ft , 7	Ashton Erler 4 years ago Awesome...Opening few moves are the hardest then swimming from there! James Curry 8 years ago Very Good- Balancy and Sustained but not pumpy
30	Hidden Treasure FA: Crazy Charlie,	5.11d	Unknown 82ft
31	Bird of Prey 4 bolts, ring anchors. FA: Michael Fisher,	5.11d	Sport 36ft , 4	al campos 8 years ago watch out for falling rock
32	The Last Laugh 8 bolts, ring anchors at top. Note: A #1 Camalot was used after the last bolt during the first ascent. An excellent route, which many climbers feel is very stiff for a 5.9, probably a 5.10-. FA: Michael Gray, 2008	5.9	Sport 75ft , 8	Saloca 4 years ago Really fun and varied route. I really felt the exposure and the height. Almost had it clean but h...
33	Jump Start 3 bolts, plus ring anchors. FA: Michael Fisher,	5.8	Unknown	Saloca 4 years ago I love this route! Very fluid, excellent holds, short and fun. Saloca 4 years ago Had to do both start variations! :)
34	Davy Jones' Locker 8 bolts, cold shuts. To the right and just uphill from "Jumpstart". Climbing is very steep & sustained, passing five bolts to reach a chain dangling from above the lip of a sizable roof. Climb past the chain, clipping another bolt under the last roof. Powerful & delicate movement gains the final lip, and one more bolt. Pull the lip and continue to a set of welded cold shuts. FA: Clay Clarke, 2009	5.12a	Sport 62ft , 8
35	Early Retirement 3 bolts, ring anchors at top. Very committing to the first bolt, with bit of a run-out to the anchors as well. Good quality movement, and very solid for a 5.10a. FA: Scott...?,	5.10a	Sport 43ft , 3
36	Rock Your World 4 bolts, rings at top. Steep, top quality. FA: John Burcham,	5.10d	Sport 43ft , 4
