Comments: Wow, finally got up there. We did 6 or 7 pitches of Tingeys Terror and finish just left of the rap bolts for the flakes....We top roped the flakes which pumped Mike and I pretty good. Crux seemed to be the start of the second part. then liebacked the flake. Awesome Smiles all around/ It looks to eat 1's 2's 3's and 4's; for pro...bring a few of each can't wait to get back there. steve

Comments: Great route guys. I agree with above info. But I don't think pitch 2 is 11a....I'm not an 11 climber and had no problems with that ptich... the holds are awesome.. I'd give it 10c or Little Cottonwood 10a
The crux for me was also the last pitch 10c... 10 feet or so. Was all good and had a great time on the Castle as usual. Also still snow at the base for your beer. Cheers Steve

Comments: Who removed the belay chains from the middle of the route. It makes rapping the final link with a 60 meter rope very dangerous. A 70 meter rope just reaches the belay chains at the bottom.

Comments: I also did this route for a warm up before Arm and Hammer. I agree it was or seemed harder than 5-8. Flary and gritty. Not sure it is 5-10 though. As I think if I went up and did it again I'd probably rate it in the 5-9 range. It did feel a bit insecure though.. Oh jesus or god.......

Comments: I've climbed this route several times, usually after doing the final pentapitch route. Rap down to the chains and give it a go....I've always wondered what this route is and would agree with the 10 c rating again at the first bolt area....Great Job Tim

Comments: Bill Cramer put this up in 82. Bill is about 6'3', I'm 5'7"/ getting past the runout beginning is not to bad (keep it together) but getting past the buldge is hard 10-c/d. 6 or 8" of reach would definely help. One of the best routes in the canyon. Cheers

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : JHCOB Wall : Weed Killer (5.11a)
By: steve santora When: Oct 15, 2006 | view comment >> |
Comments: Be careful rapping from the third pitch of weed killer, a 60m rope leaves you about four feet short of the 2nd belay bolts. I had to hang from the rope with one hand to clip the belay bolts scarry and dangerous. There is a bolt about 5 feet up that you can clip and do a mini rap to the 2nd belay but that is pretty funky. 70 meter rope is advised. 60M rope is OK if only doing the first and/or second pitch Cheers
