Details
This area has a tiny 14 car parking area. It often fills. You can park further back from the trailhead, but the opportunities are limited and add a good bit to the approach.
Description
Shroom Groove starts the same as for
Tiptoe Through The Tulips. Veer right after the 2nd bolt (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13). Groove up the water chunnel past 6 more bolts (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13) to a itty, bitty roof. Here, there are 2 choices: 1) you can pull the roof (right seemed easier). Move up to the bolt (which seem2 to have been removed as of 5/14/13) and belay, 5.8. 2) move left and finish as for
Tiptoe Through The Tulips. You can back up the last bolt (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13) with small cams.
From here, you can scramble down to the 2 bolt belay (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13) of
Vegetative Estate and rappel, scramble off to the left, or continue up as for Delusions of Grandeur (chimney), 5.6 PG-13, or the left crack, 5.8+ PG-13.
Location
This starts left of the nadir of the rock in a water groove. After the 2nd bolt, go right in a groove.
Protection
10 bolts (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13), small cams.
