Anybody know what the name and grade are of the little sporty slab climb on the left side of the base of the big flush. Sort of beneath the Prow and across from the Saigons. 3 bolts to a ledge with anchors.

There are a few little sport routes there.

Thanks,

Jim

If memeroy serves me correct, i believe the route is called doggie style and is around 5.8ish.

Hey Jim,
That is the first pitch of Worm Drive.It goes at 10c.The old bolts that were there have been replaced last fall.Clip a locker on the first bolt when leading up.The exit can still use a quick cleaning.

Cheers,
Bob

Darn no like button here..lol. Thanks for all the work.

Great. Thanks!

Seemed clean to me but I exited out around the arete after the 3rd bolt.

Jim

Good job Jim! Did You get it first go?That is a tricky second clip.I wouldn't want to blow it!We cleaned the bottom part of the route but never got around to the last bit before the winter came on.

Cheers,
Bob

Didn't get it first try. I tried Weds when it was a bit wet and couldn't make it up to the second bolt. Went back on Friday when it was dry and it was much easier (well . . .at least doable). The clip isn't so bad (when dry).

The top seemed perfectly clean to me. Thanks for cleaning it up. Hows the second pitch?

You should throw a route description up on the Cathedral site.

Jim

I hopped on this while waiting for the Saigon's last fall. They shiny bolts caught my eye. :X I fell on the lower half my first try, found my sea legs, and then got it the next try existing left around the arete as I neared the top. Fun and passed the time - thanks! :D

I just added the route to the Cathedral-Thin Air face page.

Bob

Really fun route!
The second pitch will get cleaned up this season.
