Comments: Another random observation: it looks like the trees were a lot thinner on the ground back in the day (over bay the Rattlesnake Trail at least).

Comments: Previously submitted under TROTGB:

I think it's essentially the same route. The starting groove and crux tower are definitely the same, but we may have taken different a line in the easier section between the two.

Didnt realize the formation had a name, so I put it under Notchtop.
Definitely a fun off the beaten track adventure.

Comments: I would have thought the whole thing is pretty clean - unlike its neighbor Archeopteryx which has some veg issues up high. The bolts are probably fine - same condition as pretty much all the other sport routes up there apart from the recent stuff. Nice and cool up there too now summer has begun....

Comments: RE The Black Hole
Dont remember any specific wide belay sizes apart from the first belay. Theres an ancient fixed hex, which we backed up with the smallest Bigbro. After that I think we had a doubles from Camalot #5 down for the rest of the OW. The crux roof is #3 and #4 Camalot size I think. After that, it's back to standard rack. The first pitch was wet in may, but maybe would be dry late summer or fall.
I would totally recommend this route - its a pretty monumental feature. ... more >>

Comments: Terry Murphy and I toproped and scrubbed this route a couple of years ago but never bolted it cos we couldn't figure out how to remove the offending flake. Granted it's fine just using the fingerlock at the bottom, but as Dave said the flake kinda leads you on. I did shove a block off about 5 foot from the bottom of the route and then watched in horror as it accelerated down the slope, jumped the fence and barreled across the highway about 15 seconds before a car drove by. Ughhh. Nighttime trund... more >>
