The bottom of both routes. Rock Hard Weekend is on the left, where the white marks frame a thin crack. Excalibur is on the right, beginning with an easy ramp feature.
Second half of the 2nd pitch... as you can see, you don't have to climb it as an offwidth. Plenty of face holds. Photo by Adrian Burke
In or out of the crack?
Here's a rough idea of the approach via my garmen. Take your time in the loose stuff
Starting up P3. Crux at the broken roof? I guess so. Jugs and feet galore.
Further up the first pitch.
Leading up the first pitch. The first 1/2 is a bolted scramble, then you come to move or two. Much fun. Photo by Adrian Burke
if you stop at the chains at the top of the 6th, you will miss the actual ridge summit and sword in the stone. I'm climbing the last bolts to the actual ridge line. There are chains below the ridge. Photo by Adrian Burke
There's a sign at the bottom of the climb so you know where the start is. It splits off to the right next to the other climb.
Near the top of the 6th pitch, excluding the last few bolts to the ridge. Photo by Adrian Burke
Finishing up the "offwidth" on pitch two.
Walking the 3rd class scramble above El Bobo, heading toward Satori and Excalibur.
