Biscuit Wall Rock Climbing

This is a fun, well featured band of volcaniclastic rock: a kind of relatively solid conglomerate with ample huecos and knobs, laced with striking veins of green and white quartz. Routes are mostly long (over 30m or 100 feet, bring a 70m rope), low angle, and moderate (5.5-5.10). Bolt spacing is meant to be safe for someone getting into the grade, or even learning to lead outside. These are well featured and well bolted routes and may feel significantly more approachable than old-school slabs at Flagstone or Smith. There are currently 6 routes-in-progress and 3 established routes, but if the motivation is there the wall could easily have 40 worthwhile routes (It's around 200m wide) Feel free to put up your own or contact us if you'd like to learn more about development. This is just an attempt to "get the 'ball rolling".

This should still be considered an "adventure crag", with a difficult approach, and routes that are still cleaning up. Everyone should have a helmet here, maybe even your dog. Expect loose rock, dust on the wall, and some remaining moss. Feel free to help with cleaning by bringing a brush, or better yet, a blower. The routes are long, bring a 70m rope to lower, and knot the end of the rope regardless of length. 

A huge thanks to everyone who has helped support the new development, this was a community effort.

As to the name: A group of surveyors made some unleavened biscuits which were so memorably bad, "little balls of death", that they decided to name "Deathball Mountain" after them.
