Grieving Process

V3, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: Mark Nickodemus (but feel free to PM me if you have info)
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Riggs' Hill > Escondido Circle > Questioning Block

Description

Sit start compressed with a good left hand and a TINY crimp far out with the right hand. Move up on one good foot hold to a solid hold, and top out.

Location

This is a little different than the parking for rest of Escondido. Drive past the normal parking area and turn right on Escondido. then take the first right into a cul-de-sac. I spoke with the owners of the home, and they were cool with people parking in the area, just be sure to walk around their yard so they stay cool.

Head northeast for about 4 minutes and you'll see a shorter, solid block. Grieving Process climbs the boulder's southwest arete.

Protection

Pad and a spotter.
