| Maybe Richard Wright is watching this forum? If so, thanks for the bolting effort up in Empire. I've been up there the past 2 sundays and it's a nice climb on the way back to Boulder...
I was wondering about a couple of lines at Goat Rock:
In the frontpage beta photo, route #2 feels like a 5.8 on the first pitch. Second pitch had 2 separate branching sets of bolts and the rock was pretty crumbly - the first few holds broke off in my hands and I downclimbed. What's the 2nd pitch go at? What's the name of it?
what route is #4? This should be the route just to the left of "ram". The first pitch felt like 5.10d-5.11a'ish. Easier if you just cruise left near the top. What's the second pitch go at?
#5 was a very nice route. I'd peg it at 5.11a/b on the bottom and 5.9 up higher. Anybody know what it was? You start on top of a big slopy ledge with a nice bolt to clip the belayer into.
Thanks! --eric |  |
