Location: NC : Rumbling Bald : Test Pilots Buttress : Rocket Science (5.10c PG13)

Comments: Replacing these 20 year old bolts with some re-engineering had been on my to-do list for too long, so today the job got done. There are now three SS bolts with optional gear between the 2nd and 3rd. Mandatory gear placements ensue above where the climb merges with Copilots.

If you don't want to stick clip, a #4 Cam goes nicely in the first big slot. Not P/G rated anymore.

Comments: Ah ha. Proof that I can (or could) climb v5. :) I remember that day well. I had just climbed Whipping Boy on Whitesides the day before. Pascal Robert, Kris Kline and I decided to go bouldering that day. KK climbed a nice one (maybe v2/3) to the top just left of 'my' problem and Pascal almost sent a much harder problem just to the right. He came back the next weekend and it went down. It must have been close to V8. This was before anyone was manufacturing crash pads, but I had a very small ... more >>

Comments: Ha! You're right I should have top roped or aided it first. I have such limited experience climbing at the Bald. What was I thinking?

Comments: Hardly 3 stars. On-sited this today. Unless you are comfortable with awkward 5.10+ over questionable gear, you should avoid this route. Blowing that sequence and you gear could spell bad new for you ankles on the ledge below. At the last bolt, there is a hidden good finger edge 4 ft above. Traverse hard right several feet to gain a stance. Then fight unpleasant rope drag to the Sly Hooks anchors.

Comments: I start way left at a crack and gun for it. Haven't done the direct start, but if I did, I'd just stick clip the 2nd bolt.

Comments: The route over all is a great multi-pitch addition to the area. I'd have to say 2nd pitch is the best, more engaging and cerebral. The 3rd pitch is just a clip up on friable edges similar to 7 year itch. I left some fixed gear at the 2nd belay and rapped the route with a single 70m.
