Access Issue: Road and Raptor Closures
Details
March 1st-July 31st: Devil's Head Rock, Sin City, & Recovery Wall are closed for raptor protection. The vast majority of the other crags are unaffected by the closure. Please visit:
fs.usda.gov/alerts/psicc/al… for additional information and maps.
Description
This is a good climb that starts with fun slab climbing, which leads to a series of roofs separated by a good rest.
Begin by climbing a few bolts of 5.10-5.11 slab to a stance below the first roof. The first roof is probably the technical crux, and it features smallish face holds and a shallow crack for a few punchy moves before it slabs back out to a great rest stance. Next, charge up the second, larger roof by using a combination of hand jams and good face holds. Pull through the roof and turn the corner (arete) to the right and you are home free.
This route has some really fun climbing on it, but the second roof still needs to clean up a bit. Overall it is a fun route though.
Location
If standing at the southern end of the Arena looking north, locate the east-facing wall on the west side of the Arena. Stimula is the 6th route on the east-facing wall when counting routes from south to north. It is on the wall immediately right of the face that contains Titus (it climbs the arete with double roofs).
