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.
