Access Issue: Texas Climbers Coalition Property - Now Open
Details
TCC Notes - San Antonio we have good news! Medicine Wall is open for climbing. We’ve been wanting this just as bad as you and we are excited to bring outdoor climbing to the San Antonio climbers. Thanks to the Access Fund for all their hard work on this project. A couple of quick house keeping things:
✔️It is open for all to enjoy. No commercial use of the property yet.
✔️Please wear a mask if applicable and follow other CDC guidelines especially until all the routes are able to spread folks out.
✔️Trail access is at the 1604 and Shavano Creek parking lot. Eisenhower parking will be also used when it is open.
✔️Use common sense and care for the property.
✔️We will have volunteer opportunities. Keep an eye out for cleaning and trail projects in 2021!

Location
The last route on the right side of OT before the prominent break right near the large trees at the base.
Description
An older route in need of a name. A run in with a LARGE, HAIRY and SPIKE covered bug near the top in the crack seemed like a good namesake.
Follow bolts up and slightly left. Near the top, in a shallow corner, follow a crack and blocky rock up to the anchor.
NEW! Old topo discovered on TheCrag.com indicates this route was originally called "Fistula" - no route description posted online.
Protection
10 glue in bolts.
Steel Biners for lowering.
