Description Suggest change

A classic sport route should contain: great quality rock, thoughtful bolting, sequential and thoughtful movement, and a beautiful setting. Falcon Steep has all of the above.

Scramble up the right of a detached pillar to the first protection bolt.  The crux comes on thin holds between bolts 2-5.  Unless you have fingers of steel, don't plan on chalking up until you pass the crux.  The middle section provides some relief on easier, but pumpy terrain. A final thin cux, although easier, guards the chains.

A classic route at almost any single pitch sport crag in the world. New Zealand rock gets a bad rap, but this climb is definitely worth doing. 

Location Suggest change

Look across the street from the main Hospital Flat car lot. The beautiful vertical white and black streaked wall is the Falcon Steep wall.  There is 6 routes on this wall, but I I'm just describing the king line. 

Protection Suggest change

12 bolts to perma draw anchors.
