Mr. Garvey

Potential new route thought it seems like it may have been climbed before as its a clear and obvious line. Named after the popular Comedy Central skit from Key and Pelle where Mr. Garvey miss pounces a bunch of students names as a substitute teacher, including A-Aron who was part of the potential first ascent.

Pitch 1: Climbs just to climbers left of Ms. Management. Pitch one starts in the clear corner on the beautiful ~40' finger crack. Starts with a .2 and works up towards a .5. A few quality rests before working right where the crack ends and walking the ramp to the start of the carving crack above. Gear anchor. (5.9+, ~70').

*optional variations for pitch 1 at 5.6 and a 5.8* (climb the easier terrain).

Pitch 2: Follow the obvious carving crack. Rock quality is surprisingly good though it doesnt appear to be so. Once you reach the big chalked boulder (a little lose rock) you hit the 5.9 crux moves where a few crimps on the brown varnish help. Protects well with a single #5 but could probably be done without one. Once you pull the move continue up and slightly right towards the obvious belay ledge at the dead tree. (5.9, ~100').

There is more potential to climb above, as well as a few other variations for pitch 2.

Descent: Currently there is a tat/bail anchor at the top of pitch 2. A single 70m rope will get you down just to the small pine tree just below where you would belay on pitch 1. From here do belayed downclimb on 5.5/5.6 terrain for the first person. Person two can downclimb with a belay using the tree to protect in the event of a fall. A bit contrived but allows you to descent safely. If the area gets some traffic some rappel anchors could be installed easily.

Rack: one each of .2, 3, (optional #5); doubles each from .3-#2. Gear anchors. 70m rope for rappelling.

To the left of Ms. Management but not as far up as No Country for Young Men. The fairly obvious corner crack that starts behind the short bush.

Gear anchors. Tat on top of pitch 2. Single .2, 3, 5; Doubles .3-2.
