Access Issue: ABSOLUTELY NO TOP ROPING ALLOWED IN THE COPPER TOP AREA. Details

The park is supportive of changing all of the routes to sport routes, but meanwhile they do not want any top routing in this area.

Description

Starts with a fun slab using finger pockets and foot smears.

After the slab start the wall becomes covered in little knobs, crimps, and more small pockets.

Once you climb the main face section you will come to the horizontal crack/ledge system running under the roof.

The roof section for ManlyBug has a huge vertical crack running down the middle of it. Grab onto the nubby holds and pull over the roof to the finish!

Location

This climb is just left of Chinchillas Love Ladybugs at the far end of Copper Top. It is the face section with all the pockets, nubs, and edges.

Protection

I have left a 8.9mm cordelette anchor with 2 locking carabiners backed up with a 120cm sling on a very large boulder at the top of the climb. The anchor can be adjusted to change the direction of pull for ManlyBug or Chinchillas.

Please pay attention to the way your ropes are positioned over the edges and protect them if you choose to top rope the climbs after leading them or extend the master point over the edge.
