Tim Naylor on Rifle-esque.
Andrew Burr Photography



Description 

Start off a boulder and onto the face. Go right on roof and up into .8 crack (gear), then go up to arete, a hard clip. Mike fell here from broken hold and didn't hit slab, but use caution. Single bolt anchor as of 8/23/07. I need to put one in or someone else? We wish it was rifle-esque, name goes with routes to the left. Good moves on roof to a lesser finish.


Location 

Taos Rock


Protection 

7 bolts? to single bolt anchor

I only helped "Fix" this route. Kevin Ormerod did all the work, and I'd say he did more than "fix" it. As far as i know this route had been listed as unfinished. Kevin led up through the crux(where the route had previously ended) past the last bolt and finished this climb, with a 2 bolt anchor, at the obvious ledge above. He also relocated all but one of the original bolts. The finished route is: Chaturanga 5.12a
