By: John Wilder When: Nov 16, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The first rappel is off the second tree, from there, head down and right (towards Black Orpheus), following a ramp system to an obvious stopping point. From there, head right along a lower ramp to a notch (where the water streak starts). Drop into the notch and look under the detached block for a rap station. Take this to another ledge, which leads to the BO descent. While its not SUPER obvious, a little scouting makes this descent very manageable. However, I wouldnt recommend doing it in the da... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Eagle Wall : Rainbow Buttress (5.8)
By: John Wilder When: Nov 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: What a great route up the eagle wall, although I wouldnt recommend the Dihedral Variation for the budding 5.8, or even 5.9 leader- its quite difficult and sustained. The protection is adequate, although if you dont have RP's or the smallest C3s, you'll be risking a pretty good sized fall (25'+) if you blow the crux move- assuming they would hold. Luckily, the fall is clean.
The final '5.7' pitch is on some of the worst rock i've ever climbed in Red Rock and the state of the rock was so terrible... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : The Friar and Byrd Pinnacle : The Friar (5.9)
By: calicodan When: Nov 9, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A great climb for the grade. Follow the original Red book description and it goes slightly different. Pitch three heads up RIGHT (plenty of protection) and goes under the right side of the friars cap. The original descent only takes one rope and used to go down the steep wall and gully to the north of the friars tower. Step across the gap and look for the anchors (slings - used to be OK when it was kept up). One single rope rappel takes one into the gully and a little hiking down to one sho... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : The Friar and Byrd Pinnacle : Byrd Pinnacle Left (5.8)
By: calicodan When: Nov 9, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Just did this route yesterday. Great time, but one of the bolted anchors atop the pinnacle was missing. The rappel now consists of one bolt with chain, and two faded runners with fixed knots and rings.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Solar Slab - Lower Tier : Solar Flare (5.10-)
By: rockratrei When: Sep 28, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Haven't done the variation but I did link P1 and P2 with doubles and
long runners without too much drag. There is also a great place for
a black (or purple) alien just under the roof, if you don't like the bolt.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Solar Slab - Lower Tier : Solar Flare (5.10-)
By: L. Hamilton When: Sep 27, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: One of the beta photos above notes that a "direct variation takes wires well." Anybody got other info about this variation, like its difficulty, quality, PG or R feeling, whatever? How's the rope drag if you link all the way through P2, as the photo suggests?
