Name that route by description PNW edition
|
I got this idea from Trevor’s thread. Rules are simple: Describe a route. Person who names it correctly describes the next route. I’ll start with a slow pitch.

Too many clues. |

Warm up on a hand crack through a small roof Clip a bolt, take a breath, and commit to a face traverse Pull the crux, shake it out, then lie back and hand jam to the finish |
|
Saign got it. It's Walter B. |
|
This pitch is a shorter skinnier version of a classic devils tower route. Sure to provide a good lower body burn. Hit my post limit. You're up JCM |

Mikey got it. Infinite Bliss. Yer up... |

Mikey ghosted us so I'll revive the thread. He's probably out climbing something rad though, so I guess that's forgiven. Anyway, next route/hint: (just a coincidence that both my routes so far have had hints related to bolting history) This rap-bolted climb pre-dates the famous Watts Totts by two months. But it also takes a few pieces of gear, and slab is lame, so it doesn't get credited as America's first sport climb. (Kip got it) |

Isn't that Jete, or something thereabouts? |

Terminal preppie |

5.8 lieback crux, the name alludes to the outcome of messing up. To narrow it down slightly it’s on the lower half of the formation. |
|
Blockbuster? |

@JCM sorry for the ghost. Not climbing anything rad, but packing to leave for a 7 week trip. Running around with my head cut off! Cool idea for a thread by the way! Way better than bullshitting about the semantics of climbing. |

Catapult? |
