Access Issue: Closures
Details
Per the FCC: September 5 and September 6: the NCAR-Bear Canyon Trail, the NCAR-Bear Connector – along with a Mesa Trail section from NCAR to Fern Canyon– will be closed because of Xcel-related electric work.
Mid-September through Mid-November: the NCAR-Bear Canyon Trail between Stony Hill Road west to NCAR-Bear Connector will be closed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. This closure will help OSMP complete some of the department’s final 2013 flood-recovery work to repair trails and restore wildlife and plant habitats in the area.
Description
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is the leftmost line on the ledge shared with Tits Out... and Release the Hostages, to the right of Honey Badger. It ascends the slabby face just left of a brown streak towards the massive upper roof at the top of the wall.
Clip a low belay bolt to avoid punting off the 100 foot cliff below you and climb delicately past the high second bolt to a good ledge. An optional bomber 0.75 can be placed here to protect the slightly runout 5.8 section to the third bolt at the ledge. Launch off into techy 5.11-5.12 terrain, passing 2 - 3 very cryptic slab cruxes and a small roof to arrive at the massive upper roof. Move right until you can reach the lip of the roof, and traverse back left on the lip of the roof until you can pull over onto the face. Collect yourself here and resist the urge to climb over towards the chossy flakes way out left before launching through the steep upper crux that takes you to the top of the wall!
The route is fully equipped with stainless steel glue-ins. Slings are recommended on the bolt below the lower roof, and the two bolts at and above the massive upper roof. A 70m with knots is mandatory. As with all routes in the flatties, this will clean up a bit more with traffic, but it has relatively good rock for the area. A helmet for your belayer strongly recommended.
