Comments: There is a good horn to sling to bail from at the top of the first pitch. There is currently a red sling with a rap ring in good condition we used to bail in the rain last weekend.

Comments: Good climb. We used the optional nut before the first bolt and that was nice. If you climb the groove to the left of the bolts I think it felt pretty 5.6ish, the bear hug to the right of the bolts had a few 5.7 moves maybe. Fun either way.

Comments: There are now 2 large hangers at the top of P1 belay ledge. Most of P2 was bolted. I'm not sure we found the proper belay ledge for P2 so we improvised. watch for loose rock on P3.

Comments: We did this route today, I'm pretty sure this is the top of P1. There are now 2 large and bomber hangers about head high straight over this configuration.

Comments: A fun climb but be prepared to be attacked by ants if you start at the tree and it's warm out. We climbed this once in March and it was great, once in May and the ants tried to eat us alive. Besides that, a very fun and easier climb.

Comments: This is a fun 2nd pitch to Old'N. It's a little runout. Just one pin where you start the climb and one up high after the shelf. I climbed it the first time without extra gear but with extra caution. I did it the next day with a few pieces of gear. A #0.4 (I think) cam fits nicely in the horizontal next to the little bush, make sure you extend it with at least a shoulder length sling to let the rope run smooth. The dihedral is great for climbers who aren't ready for the tricky move ou... more >>

Comments: This is a really fun climb. Smaller holds up high add to the thrill of it, but it's not scary even for intermediate climbers. The bolts looked good all the way up except for the anchor at the top of the 2nd pitch. There were a few chopped bolts but no hangers. There is a tree about 30 ft back that you can use, but you have to miss the top 15 or 20 feet of the climb. Has anybody thought about rebolting the top anchors at the top of Pitch 2? I'd give it more stars if so! Great afternoon sun ... more >>

Comments: I got a little confused, is this route the Yellow on in the picture or is this route to the right of the Yellow?

Comments: A buddy and I tried this route today. It was his first lead, the first pitch was great...but was the second really a 5.6 going over that headwall??? I made it over after he tried way to the right of the second bolt, but was this where the route is supposed to go? If so the swing for the second is pretty sketchy after cleaning his last bolt. Any info would be great! Climb on!
