Access Issue: Temporary Notice on aerial herbicide treatment & Bad Bolt Submission Form
Details
PSA for those thinking about a trip. The gates are still closed and the sign says enter at your own risk. "Aerial application by helicopter of the herbicide Rejuvra will target over 5,700 acres on a landscape that has been the focus of multiple years’ worth of treatment."
This gorgeous problem is the obvious traverse on golden patina covered rock which is directly between Heart Of Stone and Home On The Range.
Stand start all the way left on the arete with the right hand on the first hold right of the arete. Two sequences get used on this, one which is solid V8 and the method for the FA as well as subsequent repeats by them, and the other a little easier but still V8 or so.
This is probably Vedauwoos finest traverse. The name is a statement about "importance" in climbing.
Location
This is at Coyote Rocks in the talus right below Home On The Range.
Protection
A couple of pads are nice as the landing is low but uneven. There are lots of ankle rolling opportunities at the base.
