Clutch Cargo 

New guide says this is 5.7? Anyone else think this? I thought the other 5.7 (scent of an Ultraman) seemed easier. Maybe this is 5.8? I dunno......slabby.

New guide is wrong. Old guide said 5.9, and that's what most think.

I call it 5.9... when I climbed it it was nearly 100 degrees out, my feet were screaming/sliding all over the place, and I went home with a wicked sunburn... hence, not my favorite wall! =)

Got on this with the 5.7 rating (new guide book) in mind, and just though Red Rock Slabs are sandbagged or that I'm a slab weenie (which I am). The climb is fun, long, and has a bolt when you need it.

the farthest left route on the slab is "Scent of an Ultraman"..a Limage line ..black hangers..5.7 ish...mayb.. Single 60 M will leave you with some easy downclimbing on the rap.

Here is my 2 cents on the ratings fiasco on Ultraman Wall. The new Limage route on the far left is certainly the easiest on the wall IMHO. I would give it about 5.7-. Clutch Cargo is in no way as hard as Ultraman and Speed Racer so I would put it at about 5.8- at best. Ultraman and Speed Racer are super fun and I think the only grades pretty correct or close around 5.8+ish?? Clutch Cargo also has all the bolts right where you best need them so no sweat, enjoy the route and go for it! Just my worthless 2 cents..:)

Not 5.9 - I agree with the 5.7 rating. IMHO the best of the routes on this wall. Nice sequential and steep start to a ledge then very sustained slabbing up to a somewhat dubious open cold shut and closed shut anchor.

The climb is about identical to Ultraman so I go with 5.8+. I suggest you bypass the anchors (loose bolt on the open cold shut) and move right to Ultraman's anchors.

On 11/27/09, the LVCLC with support from the ASCA replaced the anchor bolts on this route- the old shuts were replaced with 1/2" x 2.75" stainless 5 piece bolts and mussy hooks for rappelling.
