Description

(from the Falcon Guide) * Up the hand crack. Very loose at the top; it is not known if the bolts below the rim are still good. Not a good top-rope.*

Both myself and my partner took out a lot of loose rock while climbing this one...both in the crack you protect and other random face holds. It was a little unnerving. Once you get by the fact that a lot of it is loose, it is a fairly fun climb.

Location

Northern ramparts past Arms Race about 100ft or so. Find the blank looking buttress, and look around the corner. It is in the right facing dihedral.

Rap is off two old rusty 1/4" bolts and some fixed webbing. We added a locking biner to the webbing yesterday. The whole anchor could afford to get replaced soon. Bolts are looking really old and webbing faded.

Protection

Pro to 3"

[Hide Comment] I agree, the route is rather loose but has some fun climbing among the crumbles. The bolt anchor is still in really rough shape and should be replaced. Jun 20, 2016
