Starting up Minimizer (5.10a), Riverside Quarry.


Description 

Located just right of Whammy (5.10a) and two routes left of Wonderstuff (5.10c); the longer route to the immediate right is Nemesis (5.12d).

Start up the ramp start of Whammy, clipping that route's first bolt, and then fire up the face, heading slightly right as you pass a small bulge. Higher, the climb trends left and features some interesting climbing as you work left to the last bolt and (shared) anchors for Whammy.

Enjoyable climbing throughout it's length on this route make this yet another great warm-up for the area. There is an extension to this route called Maximizer (5.11d), 15 bolts to anchors.


Protection 

7 bolts, ring anchors (shared with Whammy)

Although easier than Whammy the climbing is more sustained, and provides a better series of moves.
