Blob Rock open for climbing MORE INFO >>> Blob Rock is now open for climbing (May 2009). Blob Rock, Eagle Rock, and Bitty Buttress are nomally closed from February 1 to July 31 to protect nesting golden eagles. The closure at Blob was lifted early this year (2009) since the eagles did not nest there. See http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/arnf/recreation/rock-climbing/brd/in>>>>> for the latest status on Boulder Canyon closures. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This high quality route is located between Eagle Chick (left) and Eagle Hardware (right), and starts from a ledge with bolts. Fire up the steep wall with nice jugs (5.9 and 5.10 climbing), then work through the cruxy bulge with thin cracks. More thin cracks and interesting face climbing leads to the next crux. Both cruxes seemed about 5.11 or 5.11+. The final roof is easier than it looks, and is a nice finish to a good climb.

Protection 

10 bolts, nothing but draws needed.
