Description Suggest change

Fun and varied climbing on decent rock. Lots of trundling and cleaning has led to a pretty good route that will continue to improve with more ascents. Expect runouts on easy terrain and a more alpine feel to the bolt spacing in general. Two distinct cruxes add some spice to the climbing.

P1: Start up through rotten looking rock on lots of positive holds, skirting a small overhang.
7 bolts 27m 5.9

P2: Follow bolts up over bulges to the first crux on a vertical face, sequential moves on pockets and edges.
8 bolts 27m 5.10+

P3: Climb up the right side of the bolt line to avoid rotten rock, up to a fun water streak with hard patina edges. Step right to the belay.
7 bolts 27m 5.8

P4: Up through more nice edges and pockets to a groove, more sequence climbing through pockets and stemming, the final crux takes you to the top of the feature for a stunning view across the neighboring valley.
6 bolts 27m 5.10+

Double bolt belay/rappel stations, the route can be rapped with a 60m rope. All hardware is 3/8 x 3.5" Power-Bolt+ and Fixe hangers.

Location Suggest change

A direct line up the largest face on Hinkey Hop Crag. Park at the top and walk down the road, this route starts to the below right of the talus field formed by the massive hole in the crag.
