Description Suggest change

This is one of the longest and most steep climbs in Rifle.

Planet Garbage is one of the King Lines in the Wicked Cave and is a test in power, endurance, and mental strength. A weird start leads to consistently difficult climbing out the start of the overhang which ends at a massive dyno to a HUGE, one hand pocket (crux 1). Try to recover, then continue with big moves to the lip of the cave, and pull a V11 compression boulder problem on slopers and crimps ending in one last hard move to connect with Planet X (crux 2). Finish by climbing up through the wildly pumpy end of that climb.

Planet Garbage is a uniquely straightforward route with no mandatory kneebars or weird moves. It is one of the best routes anywhere, IMO.

Location Suggest change

On the left side of Wicked Cave, one route right of Planet X, Planet Garbage climbs all the hard climbing on Garbage Pail Kids (now more under the radar than its superior) then branches left into more difficult terrain.

Protection Suggest change

Many fixed quickdraws and a 70m rope is always a safe bet.
