Shane on Take the Termites Bowling
Description A relatively newly bolted crag just east of Practice Rock. Somebody went bolt-crazy on this rock, but the result is very well protected routes. It's a steep dihedral; the east face is a solid slab, while the west face feels inverted and a little more crumbly. With a 60m rope, there's a great belay station with a nice rock as a bench. To help reorganize this area, this crag is divided into the Main Crag & Lower Right Side .
Getting There Park as for Practice Rock, ~8.1 mi W of Elephant Buttresses. Hike up & R from Practice Rock.

Comments on The Bowling Alley
By Greg Talling Jan 29, 2008 CONDITION REPORT Watch out for the man-eating cactus at the bend in the trail just below the second tier. The same cactus claimed the hand of one friend and the butt of another. Nothing ruins a day of climbing like a handful of cactus!
By Chris Cavallaro Dec 1, 2005 Does anyone know about the new climbs above the Bowling Alley? Is there a new guidebook which covers these climbs? Any info much appreciated! Chris
