The Sound of One Shoe Tapping (5.8)
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Fun 5.8 friction on gorgeous rock. Some topos list the rappel from here as 85 feet, but a 50m rope does NOT get you to the ground. It gets you to a ledge, from which the ten-foot downclimb is not difficult.
Protection Three bolts to a chain anchor. Optional placement in some horizontals below the first bolt, but the climbing isn't too tough or scary if you skip this.

| I would disagree about the pro. I thought the crux came down low -- 40 feet off the ground but before you reach the first bolt. I found the upper (bolted) face to be 5.6, 5.7 tops. |

| I agree with Brian. The crux is below the first bolt. Do yourself a favor and place some pro in the horizontal. |

| This route was a total push over. I can't see how it was 5.8. Maybe if you worked the moves for a while you could make it 5.8 but I think this route was 5.7. |

| Agreed. Nowhere close to Jtree 5.8 friction. |

| Pretty easy and not very memorable, but nice face climbing practice. |

| The slab section is fairly easy, I agree not consistent with Josh 5.8, but the runout makes you think for sure. |

| The moves between the horizontal (#1 Camalot IIRC) and the first bolt certainly kept my head in the game. It's fairly straightforward from there. 5.7 |

| A great 5.8 warmup...excellent intro to Josh face technique...beautiful rock, nice length, easy to lead/lower. set up toprope, very nice in the late afternoon sun...and close to the road...one of my favorites...do set a piece in the horizontal |

| Strange bolt placements - no bolts at the cruxes - plenty of bolts where you don't need them. 60m is just enough to setup TR on this and W.A.C. Excellent friction - better than Swing Low. |
