Any route or boulder problem that starts out of or near an occupied campsite may not be done without first obtaining the campsite occupant's permission.
BETA PHOTO: Corona and Dos Equis Wall
Description
Begin more or less at the midpoint of the wall and left of a section of patina plates. Look for a curving crack, the most obvious on the wall- this is the route.
The crux is down low but the crack continues long enough to get some good climbing in. The left-hand finish is recommended as it is steeper and provides more interesting climbing.
This is a good wall to escape the crowds of the Feudal Wall, Billboard Buttress and Short Wall. The climbs on this wall appear steep and intimidating but most are easier than they look, and this route is no exception.
Protection
Take a selection of wires and cams to 3". You can rap (75') from anchors (3/8") atop a newer route just left of The Highwayman.
If they're the same ones I was talking about on the rock page, some of them (or all) needed to go. It was like a bolt farm up there -- 3 or 4 bolts, clustered together in a completely haphazard formation, including one 1/4", two nasty spinners, and a big collection of ratty webbing.
That said, though, I've only been up on Corona once. If the bolts are gone, is there a decent walk-off?
