Annette Elton finishing up her first-ever lead.


Description 

Follow the approach to the Main Wall of Solaris. Don't Get Me Started begins 35 feet left of Start Me Up, at short face leading to a bushy ramp.

Climb the short face past a bolt, then ramble up the bushy ramp to a steep corner. Climb the corner and the slab above to the anchors. Lower 70' to the start.

Barely worth doing, but could be fun for a novice leader.


Protection 

7 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

The rock is still rather dirty on this one, but the rock underneath was solid. It should clean up fairly well with additional traffic.

I've climbed both the East Slab (5.5) on The Dome and Chouette (5.6) in The Riviera (both in Boulder Canyon), and I thought that this climb was easier than both of those, so I am giving it a 5.4.

It's a great first climb for a beginner. It's a little dirty, but it's okay. The approach is too long to make it worth revisiting, but it is an excellent route to teach someone how to Lead Sport on.
