Route Awakening

5.10b, Sport, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.7 from 11 votes
FA: JB, RG 10/98
Maine > -Clifton Crags > Eagle Bluff > 04. Main Face

Description

A good way to access the Toilet Bowl feature - not to be missed.

Start right of Cereal Killer on a clean slab below a small roof. Climb the slab on ledges trending right to below the roof. Go around the right side of the roof and up the face following a groove. Follow the bolt line (10b) or stay slightly right (easier) up to a ledge with a bolt anchor.

Location

Below a small roof between Lemmings in Lycra and Cereal Killer.

Protection

Bolted but further protection can be found at the base of the roof using small pro.

[Hide Comment] From the ledge at the top of Route Awakening, you can traverse left a little bit to just below a finger/thin hands crack. I don't think this crack is part of another route, and its short, only about 15 feet long. Regardless, its a fun moderate trad lead (5.8?) and also gets you up to the toilet bowl feature. Protect with small aliens or tcu's. Apr 30, 2009

[Hide Comment] The crack has been rated 5.9+, which I totally disagree with, I like the 5.8, 5.8+ rating much better. But either way, its a great line. Oct 31, 2009

[Hide Comment] Whats the deal with the finger crack that goes straight up from the middle of the ledge? is that a route? does it lead to anchors, or just fizzle out? i want to to get on it but i'm not sure it goes anywhere. Oct 29, 2012
