Access Issue: Private land crossing and parking information - PLEASE READ BELOW !
Details
Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.
Description
Initially passed over for looking a little blank, this section of the wall has yielded a surprisingly interesting, technical and difficult route with some very mysterious crux moves that just barely go (for me, at least).
The first 60 feet are fun, varied, and not too hard - perhaps 10+/11- to a good no-hands rest. The next four bolts are the business, with increasingly difficult and cryptic moves that lead to some fairly desperate deadpoints with extremely poor feet.
When compared to other routes on whippersnapper, this one required very minimal cleaning - only a small pail’s worth of loose rock came off. The holds left behind are perfectly sculpted and you would swear that some of them came from a gym! Pinches, thumb catches, underclings, jugs…
This baby is gym bolted for your projecting pleasure. If you think there are too many, feel free to skip a few, they won’t mind and neither will I. It’s a little run out to the chains just to keep you on your toes.
"Small world, Dr. Jones!"
"Too small for two of us!"
"This is the second time I've had to reclaim my property from you!"
"That belongs in a museum!"
"So do you!!"
