Cougar Canyon Crowbar Wall | ||||||
5.10b | Face Value - with Ellie | 33m, 12 | ||||
The is a nice route with two very insecure sections. The first is the so called 5.9 start for "Island in the Stream", If this is your first 5.9 attempt at the grade you should stay away from this route it is a sand bag for 5.9, it is more like a 5.10a.
The mid section has some very loose flakes which you should not attempt to use even though they are very tempting. Once you have clipped the bolt on the right face there are some super edges to take you tot he top.
This is a fun route but not a route to be tried on lead if you are not a solid 5.11 climber.
|
||||||
5.11b | ★ Depth Charge - with Ellie | 8m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
The start is very polished with bad feet. Trust your feet and keep moving up on solid crimps. This is a very rewarding route to onsight.

The retro bolt is unnecessary and confusing. Better not to clip the bolt and use the original.

5.11a | ★★ The Jaxx - with Ellie | 12m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
This route should be down graded to 5.10d. The route is a jug fest with one move to the anchor that is 10d move.
Don't get me wrong, this is a fun route and a must do at sunshine slabs, however I do not think that it deserves a 5.11a grade.

The bolts on this route should be cut. This is a perfect finger crack that can be safely protected on gear. all you need is 1 blue nut, 1 grey 0.4, 1 purple 0.5 and optional grey 3 cam (this is not needed but will fit perfectly at the end of the crack before you step over to the slab section.
