Bob's Corner

5.11-, Trad, 160 ft (48 m), 3 pitches,  Avg: 4 from 1 vote
FA: Bob Parott, Date N/A
New Hampshire > WM: Evans Notch > Laughing Lion > Main Cliff > Left Side

Description

2 bolted pitches followed by a beautiful left angling corner (trad).

P1: 5.9 Slab climbing to a ledge with a bolted anchor (2 bolts, sport)
P2: 5.10+ Steep overhang on good holds leads to another good ledge with a bolted anchor (5 bolts, sport)
P3: 5.11 2 bolts (crux) right off the anchor leads to a beautiful left angling corner (5.9 trad) which leads to a bolted anchor

From the third pitch, there are 4th pitch options that are much harder. Otherwise rap down from the 3rd pitch anchors. We rapped down twice with a 70m cord

Location

Walk over to the left side of the main wall and look for a slab with a line of bolts. The start of the route follows the right side of an arete to a ledge with a bolt anchor. Look for the large left-angling crack and look straight down from there.

Protection

5 Quickdraws, nuts, and a set of cams to 3" Doubles in hand sizes for final pitch. 3rd pitch corner sucks up gear.

[Hide Comment] Pitch 1 has three bolts on it as of 9/5/24. This is incredible climbing. If you pull the bolt on the crux move pitch 3 becomes 5.9. Beautiful, stunning and the backdrop of Evan's Notch is classic. Sep 6, 2024
