Control Freak

5.10d, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 0 from 1 vote
FA: Eric Chemello
California > Northwest Calif… > Caverns > E Buttress

Description

Mediocre climbing up to a super junky, lame crux bulge around the 4th bolt. It is listed as 5.10b, which is highly inaccurate unless a hold has broken or you stray far left to reach the bolts. Choss above the last bolt as well.

Location

Leftmost bolted route and starts just to the right of a cave (great shade for lunch)

Protection

8 bolts, two bolt anchor with lower off biners out right.

Bleh, we thought Control Freak would be a great warm up. If looking for a warm up, just save your fingers and pull through the crux and the route might have some semblance of a single star.
