Description Sharing the first 4 bolts of Delicious the route heads up easy slab to a big hueco. Then it starts heading right over a bulge to a big hole (it seems that there is possible an owl living here at the moment). Rest here for the crux is next followed by an easy but exposed finish to chains. Route probably gets its 11a rating for the pure enduro fest required to send. The route sees a lot of sun and can be brutal hot during the summer when shaded areas are more comfortable.
Location The obviously really long route at Mt. Gorgeous starting at Delicious that heads up, to the right, and out of sight.
Protection 15 bolts to chains
Helmet for belay
60m will barely do it, 50m will not.
As my friend was climbing the .11a at Mt. Gorgeous...

CONDITION REPORT | MISSING HANGER (3/2/13). The first bolt after the route splits off is missing a hanger. It was loose and the nut popped off while my friend was lowering off the top of the climb. The bolt is still there, just needs a hanger and nut. It can be climbed safely without clipping this bolt but if anyone has an extra hanger and nut (not sure what size) it should be replaced. |

| I did this route last week. As I pulled up to the hueco a raptor flew out. I think it was a hawk, goldish in color, maybe an owl. All I know is that it was big and as I was trying to hang on I didn't get a great look. My belayer thought it was an owl. As we are from Colorado we aren't familiar with the birds of the area.
BTW, the route was fun. |

| It's a barn owl. Last weekend I was just slipping my leg into the cave for a kneebar rest/clip when our eyes met and it shot out like a rocket past me. Not sure who was more scared.
Beautiful bird. I hope it sticks around and I'll try to leave it undisturbed next time. |
