Tremendous, a unique and freaky climb on a lot of bizarre rock balls. I lead the crux 2nd pitch, the balls get progressively smaller and I was pretty nervous above the 2nd bolt until I reached the large crack. Great experience.
Climbed in the mid-to-late afternoon shade, 104F day so still hot. The crux 3rd pitch looks really intimidating, but when you get to the crux you realise it isn't actually overhanging.
Kenny Barker and Andy Raether prepped this line and got us amped to go check it out. They were not lying when they said this boulder was out of this world. It hosts some of the raddest lines and each one is unique in its own way. This one ascends a 25 foot face with slanting rails to start with, into an iron cross in the middle of the wall followed by the crux at the finish. It was awesome to get buck on this rig with jimmy. It went from feeling impossible to getting done. Stoked! #FA
An excellent climb, generally straightforward corner and face climbing but with a crux move that felt pretty stiff for 5.5. It is long, maybe 55m, so you will need 2 ropes to get off it. The belay is a bit of a horror - 3 bolts with rusting cold shuts, all spinners. I backed them up when lowering off my seconds, and rapped carefully - they were fine, but are crying out for replacement.
a bit loose, thinly protected, but easy. we simulclimbed at the end of p3. traverse left and rap off dead tree was alarming.beautiful views, lots of privacy.
