Description
A worthwhile adventure route with a steep 1st pitch full of huecos that's reminiscent of the 5 Gallon Buckets or Nine Gallon Buckets routes at Smith Rock, but with no line to wait in! The 2nd pitch is a wild, traversing odyssey up an ever-steepening ramp into a stemming chimney.
Speaking of Yippee Ki Yay, there are 4 different rodeos in Winnemucca worth checking out if you need a down day from climbing and want some local flavor: the Ranch Hand Rodeo (Feb/Mar), Silver State International Rodeo (Jun/Jul), Tri-County Fair Rodeo (Sept), and the WSRRA Rodeo (Oct). There's usually fun live music to dance to in the local saloons afterwards!
Pitch #1 (5.10a/b, 30m, 11 bolts): Start by climbing up the steeper rock to the right of the slab to clip the 1st bolt. Then continue up vertical terrain making big hero moves on huge huecos, jugs, pockets, sidepulls, and underclings. Eventually work your way into the right side corner, clip the 9th bolt, and pull over the upper bulge. Finish the pitch on easy terrain by walking/climbing up the lower-angle water gulley up, clipping 2 more bolts on the right wall as you make your way to the anchors. Enjoy the view of Paradise Valley from the anchors! 1st pitch FA: M. Vorwerk & D. McCormick 7/3/2022
Pitch #2 (5.8/5.9, 40m, 10 bolts): Walk, scramble, and climb your way up this pitch that ramps up in steepness, difficulty, and fun as you ascend. The stemming chimney section near the top is pretty fun. Recommend an extendable alpine draw for the last bolt before the anchors. End on a comfy 2 bolt belay ledge. 2nd pitch FA: M. Vorwerk & J. Madson 8/23/24
Descent
You can technically rap this route if needed, but a much better way is to go is off to the right and rap Run-A-Mucca, 2 easy raps to the ground.
Protection
All bolts are glue-ins (6" Bolt Products Twisted Leg bolts. Pitch 1 is glued with MKT Liquid Roc 500+. Pitch 2 is glued with Dewalt AC100+ Gold). All anchors stations are bolted with rap rings. Everything is stainless steel.
Location
About 23m to the right of Ridin' Out the Storm. Climb goes up the light colored rock to the left of the mossy water streak.
