Description

Only one route on this formation worth doing, (trying?). Rockworks rock lies at the northern end of the large open desert near barker dam. It is clearly described in Vogel's guidebook, and is easy to find. On the rock's east face is Rockwork Orange (5.11d), a Yaniro/Waugh classic that is much more difficult than it's suggested grade. I have replaced the orginal 1/4" bolt that Mike Waugh placed with a modern 3/8" stainless with a Fixe hanger. Also, as this rock has no convenient rappel point, I added a bolt station on top of this route which will make toproping Rockwork possible and rappeling easier. This was done with permission of the first ascentionist, so do not chop these bolts.
