Absolutely thin as heck. Could be a touch harder. Went through the crux and it goes into an even more cooked balancey move. In full sun the crimps were too sweaty.

This was a fun little guy. Ended up running it out rather accidentally. Can see how you might have some cooked falls, but it's pretty bomber gear once it's in.

Worth using some rope pro at top for belaying from above (or extend anchor a long way back towards top of route) and also for small wedge in middle of route (right side of first boulder).

More satisfying jamming for smaller hands and feet than the Obituary, and straightforward cam placements.

Easy TR solo access and would be easy enough to build a ground anchor for lead solo

Good jams and gear until the very end - easy to run it out a bit when everything flows so easily and gear goes in everywhere.

Gear: single small cams, 3x1-2, 2x3-4

 
20 Atomic Punk - with Sean Peters Mixed trad 25m, 5
Dean
Downclimbed the crux several times trying to figure it out (tried both left and right beta) before finally giving up the flash attempt. Left is the better beta but it requires committing to the crimp on the top of the flake to get the RF up to a smear and then the high LF. Unfortunately my fingers were visibly making all the smooth, critical holds on the flake wet with condensation and I could never quite commit to trusting the last crimp.

Gear: medium wires, single rack + extra #1, bolt plates.

Great fun, thin start but nice climbing. If you're like us and only have two 3s, then make sure to space them appropriately in the first section to avoid a runout. A 4 to protect the top mantle was a nice bonus bit of pro to have.

Set up a top rope by traversing from the anchor of The Obituary. Checked the gear and the rock will probably accept DMM walnuts #7, #9, BD Cams #.3 or #.4 and 1 or 2x #3. The plan is to lead this next time.

Jacob Henwood
Is this climb as dangerous as it is made out to be?

  • Easily accessible two-star grade 14
  • Lot's of sport climbers misjudge how many grades down they should go when starting out in trad
  • Rookie tradsters under pro climbs and miss good pro
  • Crack corners are not often bolted in the Bluies, so the style of climbing would be alien to a lot of sport climbers

The climbing is pretty solid and there appears to be quite a lot of good protection here, but I am still quite new to trad.

This is not an endorssement of safety, just a contribution to a conversation.

If you are going to climb this, be careful and sew it up as much as you can.
