Description Suggest change

A fun 5.8/5.9 bolted route with some trad protection. Follow the holes and big steps up to a short finger-sized crack. Place a few small pieces (I placed a 0.3 BD Cam) and step up onto a small shelf/shoulder. IMPORTANT NOTE - some people get lost when they step onto the shelf because you can't see the anchor. Look for a bolt on the shelf, right and just below the limestone band. The anchor is above the limestone band just above the small bush. Work your way right, clip the last bolt and then place a small cam (or two) then head up through the limestone band. I placed a #1 BD Cam. Rap the route to get down. When rapping, be sure to stay left of the giant, spooky loose flake (see pic). If you knocked this off it would be a "belayer slayer" for sure. Unfortunately, the flake happens to be in the fall line.

UPDATE 12/26: ANCHOR FAILED WHILE LOWERING.  SEE PHOTO AND COMMENT BELOW.

Location Suggest change

Get your way to the east end of the Fun Ship by following the Thunder Mt. Trail then turn left at a large drainage and head straight up to the "Prow" of the Ship. Start the climb at the base of the pine tree. 

Protection Suggest change

Mostly bolted. Bring 8 or 9 draws and a few pieces in the 0.3 to 2” range.
