Description
In the summer of 2023, I rebolted and cleaned this line with help from Adam Ferro and Eric Dixon. It's listed as a project on an old topo that was at Pine Needle Mountaineering. The bolts were courtesy of ASCA and the sweat equity from the Durango Climbers Coalition.
I finally finished the cleaning in late September and wanted to open up the route to the community. Please let me know if you think the bolts should be moved around. We scrubbed a lot, but it could probably use some more.
I'd recommend wearing a helmet on this one, as there still could be some loose rock. I cleaned off quite a bit bringing this one back to life, and please let me know if you get it done and want to propose a grade. The rock looks similar to the crux of Hammertime, with a longer section of that type of rock. The grade is maybe somewhere on the higher end of 5.13, but as always, it's hard to tell.
Also, please let me know if you originally bolted this route. I couldn't find any information on that.
There is also a variation I bolted that finishes out left that should be less difficult. The holds on the direct finish look very thin.
Hopefully next summer we can finish up this "Time Zone" area by rebolting the Black Canyon Practice Route.
