Description Photogenic and amazing. Climbs the left side of the Altar, a clean detached spire of rock halfway down the right side of the Vestibule. Perfect photo op, have a friend hike back up the Vestibule and snap profile pics with Long's in the background. The climb is nicer than the view. It is thin, balancy and continous. Thank you Lawrence.
Protection 8 bolts to two bolt anchor (shared with route to right - Stolen Land, 5.11c).

| Blank Slate: When you come down from the top, it is a very prominant feature. I agree with the previous discription. Its a tough-thin 5.10. If your a 5.10 climber it will push your limits. There are a couple of cruxy spots, one at the bottom, and one about 3/4 the way up. Awesome views! |

| Outstanding route! Very crimpy with a nice rest right after the crux. Good view, too. |

| The crux is above the 5th bolt - far enough above the bolt to make for some spicy falls for me. But the rock is smooth, so there is no shredding going on, which is nice. Above the 6th bolt is easier climbing, but the moves are fun and the view is spectacular. An amazing climb. |

| I second or third or whatever all the rave reviews for this route. Absolutely stunning rock formation, and a very apt name for the route itself. The holds get really thin at the crux. To exit the crux, reach back into the diagonal rail with a left hand for a bomber hold. I tried this route last year and felt like such a champ when I got it the other day. As with most routes at The Monastery, make sure you take a minute at the top to enjoy the view! |

| Neat climb, but it must be the iconic setting that people are giving the stars to, because the climbing is good, but not particularly classic. |

| Dancing, balancing crimpers and cracks. LADIES: this is for you. One of my favorite climbs ever. |

| The Ratings are really variable here and a little stiff. I would rate this a 5.10d. Definitely one of "THE" routes to do here. Get your crimpers ready for a featured sloper. |

| Woot! What a climb. It got me all rhyilldd up inside and frisky, too. Prancing around all nimbly-pimbly from crimp to crimp definitely made me question my origins, which might be why the route is named Tabula Rasa. Or maybe it is because there are no solid foot holds at the crux.
Regardless, this climb will be another monument to your blank slate.
This was definitely harder than any 5.10c I've done, but the ratings are different everywhere. I'd call it bordering a 5.11. Maybe a 5.10d.
Great climb. Will repeat... again and again. |
