After The Fall 

Climbed this today. It will certainly be a nice crack route when the bolts are put in and it gets a little cleaner. For right now, we climbed the chimney to the left and traversed right on the ledge. Be EXTREMELY careful on the traverse from the chimney to the hand crack (Very loose). I think one bolt should go on the clean wall above that death ledge to protect the traverse over to the handcrack.

Regarding the flake: I guess I'll have to shrug my shoulders and say "oh well, it's not that bad". I don't know how much lieback abuse it would take from big people, but it is easy jam around it.

Cleaned up real nice. Mellow face moves to a fun varied crack. That Glen Kaplan sure is a stud!

Seemed pretty solid to me. Really a good route. Not slabby and mostly hands which makes it unique for LCC. The sparse bolts on the first 40 feet is the only drawback, because it pulls you to the EZ ground left when the best part of the first part of the climb is really cool,too... but poorly protected when following the line of (only two!) bolts. If you blow it getting to the 2nd bolt, you would be a very hurting unit. I found the rock quality here pretty good, but maybe it just keeps cleaning up with the recent traffic. Sounds like it was a manufactured "R"...how come?
At any rate, I'll be back to it the next time in the Green A....it had been so long, I wasn't even aware of the new and improved trail up there! Nice...........Thanks Glen for making the best of a natural rock slide!

This is a really great climb. The runout's more scary than the flake - don't let either deter you.

This is a lot of fun! If you don't have that bigger 4.5 cam you can use a good nut a little lower or a small-to-medium cam just a little lower.

Two more bolts have been added to the start, so the original bolts are now bolts #2 and #4. Thanks for making the start safer!

climbed this yesterday, thought it was catalyst....great route nonetheless. really good climbing...certainly not 5.10, though. I found it to be one notch easier than Gordon's, so I'll call it 5.9. Thanks for the route!

First time on this route I placed a bunch of big pieces (2 #3 and 3 #2). I redid it yesterday and didn't place anything bigger than #2 and a bunch of micros went in. Lots of gear options, some of them require a bit of imagination. The route is still a bit dirty with gravel pouring out of the cracks and a few small holds breaking. I took a fist sized rock to the face while tugging on a cam, the placement and rock looked really solid but all came out after one small pull.
I'm not sure if it was worth the chipped tooth, but great route anyway!

This is a great route with a wide variety of climbing! The route sews up nice and has solid hands the whole way, even more if you are solid at hand/fist jamming. It seems to be cleaning up. There was only one section with some gravel in a groove. There are 3 flakes that are marked X, but you don't need them if you are climbing the crack properly, not that I would know how to do that! :)

A nice route, would have liked to #2 camalots, and only had one, but lots of gear options as noted previously. Airy moves and good jamming.

Great route! Watch the rope drag, there are options for gear, but hand size pieces go in nearly everywhere, so bring em if you got em. Fun, unique climbing for LCC.

Did this route yesterday, mid april, and despite it being really wet it was awesome. Very fun jamming and chimneying the flakes is super cool. Every 20 feet or so is a bomber rest. This route is a full 35 meters, so a 70m rope just barely gets you down. Bring doubles #.5-3 camalots and QD's for the 4 bolts. Just as much fun as gordon's.

I am a struggling 5.9 leader. I just did this route this morning. I was very glad I took a double-rack of hand sized cams and a 70m rope. This is one of LCC's classics. I went up a middle aged man and came down a boy.

that death flake will probably come off sooner than later considering that the route itself was created by rockfall- the tip of it also has a fracture in it. be careful! just as fun as gordon's!!
