[Hide Comment] There is a white buttress at the top of this cliff. When you climb all the pitches of The Big Easy you finish right below it, are there any climbs that go through this buttress? It looks like it could be cool. Aug 11, 2010

[Hide Comment] Yes. That is where Slick originally finished. It is my understanding from talking to Tim Gotwols, that he did the FA of that pitch. It follows a seam diagonaling up and right using gear and a pin or two. I have only TRed it in my boots while rapping in to do stuff below, but it seemed about 9+, pumpy and the gear is not very good. He OKed retroing it and since the middle pitch got obliterated when the big flake came off, I thought it would make a great finish for The Big Easy. I have not had a chance to do the retro job (it's turning into a multi year project) as it is up high over everybody and it is hard to find a time to do it when nobody is below. I am hoping to get to it later in the year when other cliffs that I am working on have closed in for the season Aug 11, 2010

[Hide Comment] A 3-pitch moderate route all the way up to the top of that white buttress would be fantastic. Stellar. It sounds like one can assess this pitch from Sesame Street, P2 of Big Easy, or Bourbon Street, right?

I really miss P2 of Rock du Jour. Great pitch. Aug 11, 2010

[Hide Comment] After pitch one of The Big Easy, you get some fun moves which branch either to Bourbon Street or up to the top of Sesame Street. I believe the new guidebook calls the short scamper to the top of Sesame Street pitch 2 of The Big Easy. You can easily climb the first half of Sesame Street and pop up onto the ledge after the first pitch of The Big Easy... but you'll miss the best part of Sesame Street (in my opinion).

The pitch above Sesame Street ("pitch 3" on The Big Easy) is pretty easy ground. It wouldn't be too difficult to traverse over to the crux of Bourbon Street and continue up the easy ground which follows that. Both routes can give you access to the white buttress above.

With all the bolts below... it's kind of odd to drag up a light trad rack for the final pitch up the white buttress, but oh well. I bet no one would miss 3 or 4 bolts from the top half of Bourbon Street if they were moved. :) Nonetheless, fun to get above the often crowded area below. Aug 12, 2010

[Hide Comment] I noticed that there are 3 new routes on the far right side of this cliff. 2 of them are listed on MP, but there seems to be another 5.10 as well. I'm not sure if the one listed (Far From Feral) is the left 5.10 or the right 5.10 of the two. Does anyone have any information? May 30, 2012

[Hide Comment] I was asked to post the 2 routes that were complete...
if you read the description for Far From Feral it explains that there is to be a variation start to the right... this is said to be a good bit easier...

so for all practical purposes the info is all here, enjoy! May 30, 2012

[Hide Comment] What I did was a completely different climb about 10 feet over from Far From Feral. If a completely separate route is considered a variation... well, OK, but that seems odd to me. Jun 1, 2012

[Hide Comment] just telling you what was reported to me... 3 new lines added, the right being independent the two on the left starting 10 feet apart and sharing their easy finish... if you have better or different info please post it up... Jun 2, 2012

[Hide Comment] You got it, Lee, thanks!

EDIT: I was contacted by the person who put up these routes, and they will be handling it. Thanks! Jun 4, 2012

[Hide Comment] Not sure if an answer to this is listed elsewhere but there is a 3 bolt to anchor route to the left of Anchovy Caper, anyone know the rating for this/what this is called? Nov 19, 2012

[Hide Comment] Yeah I would say Bonnie and Clyde and it goes at 5.8.

P.S. IS this the Ben I met at Lago the other night while I was working? If so how was you trip? Nov 19, 2012

[Hide Comment] yup thats bonnie and clyde... one of the bolts is hard to see from the ground... might have been why you thought there were only 3... Nov 19, 2012

[Hide Comment] Ah yep that was certainly the route we really enjoyed that one!

And yes Matt! Thanks for the warm welcome!! We had a blast but we're still getting a feel for the outdoors. Been tackling every 5.8 and 9 we see and we're gonna ramp it up to 10a/b the weekend after turkey day! Slow and steady since we still quite green :) Nov 20, 2012

[Hide Comment] Found some P cord underneath The Anchovy Caper. If was underneath a little overhang. If it's yours message me and I'll return it as it looked pretty new. Otherwise great booty find! Apr 3, 2014

[Hide Comment] Anyone have info on the new climb right of metamorphosis, it was super fun! Mar 9, 2016

[Hide Comment] The new route is by Chris smith. I was going to post it but I forget what he is calling it. We will get it up here soon. I agree it is super fun! Mar 11, 2016
