Location: NV : Red Rock : Calico Basin : Hide-and-Seek Crag : Here (5.10-)
By: trundlebum When: Jan 3, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Short/sweet and very winter friendly.
The couple moves from last bolt to the anchor are respectably .10a
The anchor is perhaps low. If the anchor was the last protection bolt the route would would a fair bit harder, you would have two more thin moves and then a sloper mantle to finish.
The route is easily top roped by doing 'There' and just tensioning off the 'There' anchor on the way down.

today, two (very short) days into the year,
it was sunny and warm :)
Fun and user-friendly.
Well worth the stop on your way to or from 'Cut your teeth'

However, I agree with gilbert,
I thought it barely harder than 'November Daze'
5.8 is generous.

By: trundlebum When: Sep 5, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Although this is a long and somewhat committing route many people do just the first 3 or 4 pitches, and that is well worth it.
On the first pitch, if your second is anything less than confident that they can cruise the moves, a back belay (party of three?) might be wise. For the second, you have to unclip the second bolt and do the crux moves of the pitch staring at a serious whipper (correct use of the term) into the shallow left facing dihedral. If you do fall, just pretend it is practice for... more >>

Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : Middle Cathedral Rock : Central Pillar of Frenzy (5.9)
By: trundlebum When: Sep 5, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: George is corrrect:
The 6th pitch is a .10a right facing layback, well worth doing. The 7th is 5.8/5.9. From here you can continue up. I have never been above here, but Meyers topo shows a .10c lb and thin crack pitch, then a .10d thin pitch. A short bit of .10 face and 4th class gets you onto the Powell/Reed ledges (but why?).
Also there is the possibility of doing a face traverse,
(scary, only one bolt and who knows of the condition?)
From just below the belay on the top of pitch 7, over to ... more >>

Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : Middle Cathedral Rock : East Buttress (5.10c)
By: trundlebum When: Sep 5, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: In discussing rating:
In the old "Meyers yellow book" it is rated 5.10c
If you look at the topo the only thing over 5.9 is the bolt ladder.
(which is short, low angle and easily 'batmanned' without aiders)
The only 5.9 (in the Meyers book) is the move over the small roof above the bolt ladder to gain the 5.6 crack for the second half of the pitch. However there are many 5.8 pitches above, a few that might actually be contested as having enough gusto to be considered 5.9.
I think 5.9 A0 is an app... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Juniper Canyon : Jackrabbit Buttress : MysterZ (5.7) : Photo
By: trundlebum When: Aug 20, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: A picture is worth a thousand words.
A really nicely done topo, hopefully people will follow the example and we will start to see more topos here.
Nice job with the over view image on top of your topo.
Kudos.
