Wow, I am surprised you guys like Crystal Clear better than Bohemian Crystal! Anyway, I entered CC on this web page to clear up the confusion.....sorry about the pun. I have always liked repeating Bohemian Crystal and I think it has cleaned up quite a bit since I first climbed it. CC? Well, I just guesstimated a rating? Isn't it harder than 5.10b Trisnuty? I will leave it up to you guys to rate it properly. Thanks.
You know James, the book called CC a 5.10b, but I do remember thinking it felt a little harder than that. I need to go back up there and climb BC and re-climb CC. Now James, do you know where I can find that 5.11 that's suppose to be up around this area? I'd like to jump on that if I'm going back up there. I've looked around a little for it, but have yet to locate it...
Neuro Deficits on the Grandeur Slander Wall is straight west and around the corner from Bohemian Crystal on another (the very next one to the west) crag. Crystal Clear is not in the book, only BC on the Church Fork Crag is in the Ruckman Guide. CC is definitely chossier and harder than 5.10b, but I think BC is spot on for the grade as listed in the book. Other routes I put up on the opposite wall (to the east) have never been reported, but I accept the responsibility of putting up these other truly filthy routes worthy for only true choss masters. BC, IMO, stands out as the one to repeat over and over again. It is worth the nice hike anyway. Thanks for your comments!
