[Hide Comment] fun corner! gets really tricky right before you can grab the top edge to traverse left. could only find one hanger anchor directly above climb and had to run 30ft or so of webbing to a random anchor ontop of the rock. you should hang anchor over edge to avoid rope drag.

[Hide Comment] nice pure arete with solid rock. sporty bolting not for beginners.. F6b if not bridging. Old man Tony sounds grumpy ;), good effort rebolting the crag guys, thanks for all the hard work, much appreciation from the Redding crew. Makes for a really great weekend away for us.

[Hide Comment] People new to the area, don't forget that the original route tops out. If you want to try it, it's a fun 5.9 traverse and mantle up and left of the new anchors. Both versions are very fun!

[Hide Comment] Named centipede going at 5.9 in the old guide book. 3 bolts with a 2 bolt anchor. Committing move for the grade right before the anchors with a high step on the arete. Super fun with unique start.

[Hide Comment] This route was Mis-labeled in the old guide as Centipede. The 5.9 grade was because it originally finished with the mantle over the bulge left of the arete, and finished with a walk off. When the place was rebolted, a lower anchor was added dropping the grade to 5.8. The original name Clicking Barnicles was brought back.

[Hide Comment] Such a cool arete climb! But - yowza - it's a burly 5.9 (even a 5.8 in the book!) And I agree with those who only found 3 bolts.
