Note that the annual closures of the Park View Dome, The Ranch Hand, Black Creek Wall, and Sawmill Crag have been permanently lifted. These cliffs will continue to be monitored, but will only close if a new nest is spotted.
Description
"Who's motorcycle is this?"
"It's a chopper, baby."
"Who's chopper is this?"
"It's Zed's."
"Who's Zed?"
"Zed's dead, baby, Zed's dead."
Another one of my favorite routes at the Dungeon. There are no stopper moves but a lot of 5.12 that packs a huge pump. Climb past 5 bolts then work your way up the steep, left-facing corner with bomber gear. Clip a 6th bolt, fight through a final crux and enjoy the swollen forearms. This thing is PUMPY!
Note: I've seen a lot of people climb this with a single #2, but doing so is extremely risky. Staunton granite is not Yosemite granite and gear does pull on occasion. If you can't hold on to place 2 pieces, consider pre-placing the gear or building up your endurance so you can climb the route more safely.
