BETA PHOTO: Vomitorium (5.8) ©


Description 

This face climb starts off using small knobs, easing up to some nice smearing to the top. Bolts are on the top, but one has to climb the route to get at them.


Location 

Just past the Columbo Crack, one can tunnel through the two adjoining boulders and view this on the immediate right.


Protection 

Two bolts

Some people hop off the back.  We thought it was way easier to down-climb(maybe 5.5) the left side onto the boulder that houses   Tricky Face

Great little climb. a little high if you are not confident, but the climb eases off SIGNIFICANTLY at the top. Leave the rope at home and downclimb off to the left hand side.

You can scramble up from behind to set a top rope (but my brother did it, so I can't give the details; he may have needed a bit of a "boost" from someone if I remember correctly - I'm posting this 6 mo's after we climbed it).

Didn't feel like a 5.8 to me, but we were climbing a bit off-center (both to the right and to the left), so maybe the dead-center line is more of a 5.8?

Appears to be a 5.7 on Chris Hubbard's Topos (circa '98), but it's unnamed there, so can't be sure...
