Yellow Latex Blues

FA: FFA: Charlie Fowler and Henry Barber
Colorado > Telluride/Norwo… > Ophir > Ophir Wall > E Buttress

Description

Climb up the face on the right side of the wide arete. Follow bolts up to the big ledge and belay from a 2 bolt anchor. The starting moves are very bouldery and feel harder than 10- if you miss the sequence. It is a great climb!

Location

This is the right of 2 bolted routes at the base of the Jungle Gym area. This route is about 20' to the right of Block Party.

Protection

5 bolts to the anchors.

[Hide Comment] I felt this to be stiff at 10-. Although, I suppose the grade is fair for Ophir. Jun 24, 2011

[Hide Comment] Meh. An ok route, but not as good as Block Party to the left. The beginning moves had an undercling hold pop off and made it a little harder. Tough sequence to figure out as you step off the deck and above the first bolt... mostly 5.7/5.8 climbing after that. May 22, 2018

[Hide Comment] You can bypass the crux off the ground on this by traversing in from the right, there's a lone bolt over there for protection. Runout 5.9 climbing to the top after this. Jul 10, 2022
