Meyers. HW50. Slabs/Above Bottle Creek. Area? Routes?
|
We were climbing on the slabs above highway 50 west outside of Meyers. I have looked up at this wall for the last 3 years and finally had a chance to check it out. What I got myself into was a runout mixed route that ended up being rather fun with bolts right when things were getting too airy. Id say 10a and worth the hike. I cant find this area anywhere on MP or any website. Any local knowledge out there? |

I used to live in Meyers. I went up there one day. I climbed some slab route that was scary as shit and runout. Maybe the same one? I forget how I found out about it. |

I'm pretty sure that is bat wall. It's in the Carville guide. |

Ah, I found it in the Carville Guide. It's the ManGod Wall. Obscure! |

I'm not sure what we were on, but we started ~20ft left of the main corner, up a dihedral, passed a fixed pin, pulled right over the bulge, and then its ~10ft to a bolt. Then it was ~15-20ft btw. the rest with some pretty good gear in between. Most memorable part of it was a semi-bomber .75 i finally placed in a diagonal seam up high and pulling on tiny orange crystals up the steep slab above. Definitely had pucker factor. The hangers were still shinny, but the bolts were looking pretty rusted. I think they may have been 3/8". Chain anchors at the top, can rap with a 70m line. |
