Dave Goldstein pulling through the P1 crux

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Two v. fine pitches -- the first up to an exciting roof (which is more traversed than surmounted: right off a big horn, then back left on big holds), the second with a steep flake/corner of liebacking and jamming.
Comfortable ledge between pitches.
One seasoned Gorger I know calls this the best 5.10 in the ORG.


Protection 

9 bolts on each pitch. Two single rope (60 m.) rappels to descend.

I might call it the best 5.10 sport climb in the country.

Really really fun! The first pitch was surprisingly easy. The second was surprisingly hard and sustained. I remember thinking that I would certainly grease off at any moment, but somehow kept moving upwards anyway.

Actually if you reach up from the ginormous hold under the roof you can reach a HUGE super bomber pocket and kick your feet out. This bi-passes the traverse. A very fun move!

9/10 climb - loses a point only b/c there's still a bit of bat shit to be negotiated on p2. But that won't kill ya.

Loses a point for bat shit?! Hmmm... that's very rugged of you.

If you know how to bandaloop, you can swing over to a bolt on Wooly Bogger, climb up a bit and set up a toprope on it. Superfly is Sooper rad.

A must do if you're in the Gorge. Don't even think about only doing the 1st pitch, the 2nd is also great!

There is bat shit EVERYWHERE on this climb... Rather nasty but still super rad climb!

This route can be done in one long enduro pitch if you have enough draws. Don't miss the cliffhanger maneuver on P1.
