3/24 Topo update

P3. I found the crux to be just below the third bolt.

Route to pitch 7 - at top of pitch 6, traverse along base of submarine rock until you see bolts.

Tyler and Arian at the top of P3

Richard leading P4. Just below the crux at bolt 2.

Garrett contemplating the great mysteries of the universe. Like "why did I forget my helmet?"

Topo of Pitch 1 - Direct Pitch 5.10+

Dan making the high step crux move at the top of P1 (the Agave Pitch not the Direct Line). Maybe 5.8/5.9-.

Finally got a chance to finish cleaning the Direct Variation on P4. I thought the Top Out onto the ledge (see bolt in pic) would be the hardest move but it turns out it was at the 2nd clip. Grade is likely 5.8/5.9- for this pitch.

Mantle ready? Getting ready to do the mantle on the walk the ledge pitch.

Pitch #6

Hard to beat the view from the Submarine.

The Agave Pitch. Just right of the direct line. Mostly 5.6 with a tricky 5.8-ish move at the crux. Tread carefully over the spiky agave! Look for a bolt on the wall behind the agave to keep your rope from dragging through the agaves.
