Blood Sport

5.11c V5, TR, Boulder, 25 ft (8 m),  Avg: 3.5 from 4 votes
FA: Jay Anderson, 1980, solo
Wyoming > Laramie Area > Vedauwoo > Nautilus
Warning Access Issue: Bad Bolt Submission Form & USFS press releases DetailsDrop down

Description

This starts as a shallow fingercrack/lieback in a right-facing dihedral. Climb mostly on good flared hand jams, to bomber jams, up through fists at the top.

Location

It is left of Hemoglobin and right of Knee Grinder on the same tier of the Nautilus as Finally and Deep Throat.

Protection

This route is really a boulder problem and has been traditionally climbed without a rope. It may be practiced by building a TR anchor from climbing either Knee Grinder or Hemoglobin.

[Hide Comment] I personally use V5 as a translation to 12-. My breakdown is:
V0-1: 5.10+ and below
V2-4: 5.11- to 5.11+
V5-7: 5.12- to 5.12+
V8-10: 5.13- to 5.13+
etc. Aug 25, 2018

[Hide Comment] There are a lot of routes in Vedauwoo that are 11/V5 I think. Like Old Dogs New Trick, I think that's the official rating. May 24, 2021
[Hide Comment] I had always thought Old Dogs was V3 (?). That being said, I always found it pretty hard. May 24, 2021
