Location: CA : Sierra Eastside : Mammoth Lakes Area : McLeod Lake : Kilt Lifter (5.10c)

Comments: You can climb this either by reaching the steep face from the right via the ramp or direct via a mantleshelf.
Once on the slab again there are options, head left to the top of The Quickening, or head right to the top of Slap and Tickle.

Comments: None of the anchors are easily accessible from above. The best way to access the anchors is by climbing the routes!

Comments: General consensus is that it is harder - what grade would you give it?

Comments: The stand start feels harder (V3) now with breakages. The stand start is more like the V2.

Comments: Rebolted a few years ago the new bolts are located on the right side of the arete, unlike the old bolts which were on the left.

Comments: When driving it can be easy to miss the first left turn after about a mile. If you take the right fork, you could find yourself all the way at pocketopia.

Comments: A wierd route that has an odd traverse. A more direct finish (or start for that matter) would appear to be more logical.

Location: CA : Sierra Eastside : Mammoth Lakes Area : Casa Diablo Mountain : Parking Lot Crag : Unknown E (5.9)

Comments: After a tricky start (chimney style or a long move of the large undercling - harder), easy climbing up the face. For some great slab moves make sure you stay direct after the last bolt up to the anchors.

Comments: the crux is the very first move up onto the slab. Stacking pads or standing on a snow bank is clearly off!

Comments: I wouldn't say it is up the left side. He is right up the center of Serengeti.

Comments: Looks very similar to Problem B. You can make it an independent problem by climbing the sharp arete direct at about the same grade.

Comments: The climbing up the smooth wall is fingery and engaging.

Comments: The new guide is really good. Well laid out and full of the usual info you want. It also has plenty of color pictures which really make you want to get out and climb at the quarry.

Location: CA : Riverside/Orange Counties : Riverside County : Mount Rubidoux : Half Moon Area : ... : Problem C (V3 R)

Comments: The crux sequence on this problem is high of the deck and feels very insecure - scary!
|
Location: CA : Riverside/Orange Counties : Riverside County : Mount Rubidoux : Half Moon Area : ... : Problem B (V2 PG13)
By: Euan Cameron When: Jan 29, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: The crux is at the bottom, but the landing isn't easy to protect, so it gets a PG13. The top moves are fairly straightforward.

Comments: High and not the best landing means pads and spotters definitely recommended.

Comments: Crux is low down gaining the large spike hold, but leaving the scoop focuses the mind.

Comments: The crux sequence in the middle of the problem is the right hand/foot match, but the holds are sharp and the top is fairly easy with a good solid flake for the hands to grasp.

Comments: It is possible to start this from the right by standing on the pedestal, stepping up leftwards onto the slab to gain the middle as per the original. This start is probably V3.
