Turkey Shoot 

This is a great route. The whole second pitch is really fun and has excellent jamming and great gear with good exposure coming aroung the roof. You definitely want a couple big cams (#4 Camalot) for the wide parts on pitches 1 and 3, but they're not too hard if you use small but abundant features on the faces for your feet. Pitches 1 and 2 are long a make for good, sustained 5.9 climbing.

I don't know how you couldn't give this three stars. I loved it.

Turkey Shoot is one of the first routes at Turkey Rock. It was established by Don Doucette, Mike Dudley and Art Howells in 1969 or 1970. Originally had some aid moves. The name came after some irate yahoo landowner starting shooting at them and bullets were bouncing off the rock.

Hubbel's guide says pro to 3.5". Trout's guide says bring fist size pro. The largest piece we brought was a #4 friend. Done this way, expect some lengthy runouts on the first pitch. Also, expect about 15 feet of unprotected offwidth climbing on the last pitch right off the large ledge. There is certainly as much, if not more, wide stuff than perfect hand crack on this one.

I always bring a Number 5 when doing the last pitch finish for Turkey Shoot and Chopping Block. It's nice to have a Number 4 for the first pitch also.

Didn't have a #5 but if you don't mind the extra weight a #6 will definitely give you a piece of mind on the first and third pitch. Great route.

Three Stars for sure!! A #5 will make you feel good but, you'll still be running it out. If your at your limit on 5.8 (especially OW) then I would suggest bring another #5 or maybe even #6 to make the top pitch more fun. As it was, we just had a single set to a #5 and no worries. Someone else said it though. . . Expect more wide crack than hand crack.

P.S. pulling out of the chimney for the pitch 1 crux was wicked fun though!!! You can just wedge your body in there and get a no-hand rest while you figure out the exit moves.

This was one of the funnest routes that I have climbed so far. The second pitch is pretty sustained and really wore me out. Thanks to Roland my partner for the awesome leads. There are plenty of holds along the right side face of the crack, especially on the chimney. I usually have a tendency to "stuff" myself in the chimney which proves entertaining to all who watch me climb. This is a Great route.

This route is classic. Definitely worth doing.

We had no problems placing Camalots #4, #5, and #6 on this route. If you don't like runouts, bring the big gear.

A fine route. A #5 for halfway up and a fistful of #4s will make pro comfortable. Be advised though, as of 6/3/12, the anchors are two old knifes. I backed up the anchor with a 0.75, but rapping isn't the most reassuring experience....

Pitch 1 and 2 combine for one super 70m pitch. This avoids what looked like a crowded chimney belay but requires you be solid at the grade and have endurance. I brought BD 0.5-3 (2x), and singles of 4 and 5 plus a couple hand-sized hexes, and I was still pretty run out on some of the fist sections. Next time I'd bring an extra #3.

Tried the chimney variation on pitch 3 today. Had already climbed a bunch of routes and was feeling tired.... Felt like a 5.7+ squeeze chimney toward the top. Definitely strenuous but not too hard. I would still recommend this as a decent option to top out on, just know it is a "squeeze" chimney and not just a chimney. I see a distinct difference.
