The route...


Description 

Steep edging through patina, with a slopery finish.

This route is on the northern end of the west face of Flaming Rock. Traverse the ledge in from the right. There is a bolt for the belayer at waist level. There are two 5.10a routes here. The left, all bolt, line is Tribal Boundaries. The right route requires some small gear.

The first couple of hangers are homemade jobs, the rest are factory.


Protection 

~11 or 12 draws including the anchors.

This thing is so beautiful and classic. It was one of my first 10 leads and was and absolute thrill.

Fun climbing on good rock but it wasn't as good as I was lead to believe. Still a route worth doing and the Flaming Rock area is a nice escape from the crowds of the more roadside crags.

I nominate this as the best bolted 5.10 in the US. Who's with me?

I might be convinced its the best 5.10a in the City. But, I can think of a couple of 5.10's in the Castle that seem at least as good (Shock and Awe, Red Rib).

I would agree that this is one of the best 5.10's in the park. It's my personal favorite.

Let the record show G.O that it's 8 bolts for the route, 1 for the belayer and 2 for the top. Making it.......11 total.

Now take that!

Great route even in full sun. Lot's of varnished patina with "what the hell is this" slab at the top.

Climbed this on Saturday, as good as ever, though the 6th or 7th bolt was a spinner (can't remember which) requiring one extra mini move to nail the bastard.

The setting and position are what make this route a classic.

Fantastic Route! Great moves to the top, and the slabby stuff at the end makes you think a little bit but much easier than some of the other routes with similar ratings. If you have the time (and who doesn't), belay the second from the top; the view and atmosphere are worth it.
