BETA PHOTO: 1 Yuji Feet 5.11c 2 Black Rose 5.10d ...
Description
A nice gear route up a slabby face with plenty of hand and footholds. This route was first done decades ago and originally went to the top of the slab, but with the addition of chain anchors it is unlikely many people will climb the last ten feet since a walkoff/downclimb is required.
On the right slab of the Black Rose area, start about 5 feet to the right of the left edge of the slab area. Find a shallow, round dynamite hole and start up. Follow the small crack system more-or-less straight up to the chain anchors.
Location
Just to the right of the “hole” between the two Black Rose slabs.
Protection
Small to medium nuts, a small cam or two, chain anchors (or go to the top and belay from there).
Really fun route. I've taken beginners on this thing a few times and they all could do it and enjoyed it. As crisco said, don't forget to take your nuts.
