Comments: Looked at this climb Sept 09, looked good for a pm shady climb. Went back Oct 09 and lucked out on even better weather. In and out of sun till noon. Good stuff, varied and well protected. Climb uneventfull and props to David S for the offwidth.
We started the climb at 8:30 and finished at 2ish. The descent in Jerry's Heandron book is spot on. After the chockstone the cairns come and go, there is a large cairn to the west of the tree in the gully that is described in Jerry's book. About 6-10 c... more >>

Comments: Perhaps the real crux is getting to the route. If you follow the fence line alone the wash to the left (don't go thru the gate and up the normal trail to rockfellers)and work your way back to the climb staying in the wash you will eventually come to it, make sure you have a good photo of it as this is the guaranteed way to identify it

Comments: Just did Snake Dike last week, had the free Supertopo beta and the Mountain Project beta. Neither accurately represents the second and third pitch. Here is what you will encounter.
As you take off on the traverse of second pitch you can get in a piece and than clip a bolt. You will than see a pair of anchors about 60 ft up. I suggest you clip them and bring up partner. This ends the second pitch (do not recommend going further for the following reason). P2 on Mountain Project says go past "p... more >>

Comments: This is a great route and the second pitch is interesting as do not be decieved and try the right side of the bulging rock. Lots of differnt stuff. On the rap look closely to climbers left for the third and fourth set of hangers (more like 20 feet and not 10ft

Comments: Feel compelled to give better parking/trail info. The parking lot they talk about is a triangular shaped parking lot and it is the third parking lot after the official very large "Bell Rock" parking lot. When you get on the trail (through the gate), you will walk the trail for a while and than follow the old wooden power lines for 1/4 mile, when you hit the man made stone bridge that crosses the wash, drop of to the right and follow the wash. It is well cairned and you can't miss it.

Comments: As an added note, despite the age of this route, new hangers are at the top of the pitches and rapping off is now safer, however rope management is critical. Bring two ropes if you intend to rap
