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.

Description 

This route is fun. A bit tricky protecting the start, I thought there was short, ground fall potential before getting gear in at a reasonable height. However, the crux is higher where gear is perfect, and bouldering up and down at the start to fidget gear is reasonable as well. Nice crux, sweet little climb.

Location 

Middle of Bitty Buttress, between Peapod and Left Crack - left variation (Hand Is Quicker Than The Eye .11d), has two bolts. Jaguary, climbs face to a crack directly above.

Protection 

I slotted a nut at head height, stacked a couple of TCUs in the arch above, squeezed a #2 Ball Nut and #00 TCU shortly after; the remainder is more obvious.
