St Valentines Day Massacre Topo


Description 

This is currently the rightmost route on the same wall as Mr Meanor. Start right of a large flat boulder and a few feet right of the first bolt. Move up to clip the first bolt, then follow an obvious white streak/ridge. Go straight up after clipping the fourth bolt. Clip the fifth and last bolt and scramble up slightly right 15-20 feet to the chains.


Protection 

5 bolts and chain anchor. Small cams or stoppers can be used between bolts or above fifth bolt if desired.

if the first 15 feet of this route went on for 100, it would be four stars...wishful thinking.

if the first 15 feet of this route went on for 100...

theres a rodent of some type that eats at the yucca right around the belay for this route, listen and you can hear it chewing.

The first 35 feet of this is better than any of the other moderates in this area. Lots of nice moves. I only wish it would go on longer.

If you are in the mood for a harder start, you can traverse left up the white streak rather than starting right of the first bolt - that bumps the rating about half a grade.

The first two bolts have been removed by Ben Burnham by request. The moves can be covered by small stoppers or very small cams.

FWIW, I'm the one who mentioned to Ben that I thought some of the bolts on this route were unnecessary.

Thanks, Ben, for being willing to go back and take another look at the route!

Why is Ben being consulted regarding the necessity of bolts on a route that he didn't put up? Doesn't sound kosher to me...

I was at this wall in June, 2006 and all the bolts were there. Good climb.
