Comments: That's actually Sunrise Peak in the center. Dromedary is just sneaking in the left side of the photo.

Comments: Steve, I went to climb Dirty Rotten Horror the other night and noticed Jazz's bolts. You asked for feedback so I'll share my thoughts.
The first half of DRH is climbed to access the bolts, where you are supposed to get on the arete is unclear. All of Jazz's bolts can easily be clipped from DRH. The lower bolts would be in an awkward position to protect but the last bolt is right at a protectable stance on DRH. As seen in your photo, the 2 routes definately share holds. You compare Jazz to Astro... more >>

Comments: There are about 4 bolts on this route now. Also, the anchor bolts have multiplied.

Comments: Don't need any gear until pitch 4. A single rack is more than enough, leave the doubles and C3s home. We accidentally solo'd pitch 2 and pitch 5 is just a short scramble. 3 and 4 are the good pitches. Lots of long slings for 4th pitch is a good idea.

Comments: Where the second pitch jogs left I went right because it seemed cleaner. The traverse under the roof was cool. We walked off west.

Comments: Needlessly PG-13. The last bolt is way too low to prevent a ledge fall if you somehow blew it going over the roof.

Comments: Got a sweet handjam and high feet and skipped the sloper. Awesome pitch, slightly shitty belay. No loose rock anywhere on the route.

Comments: I'm guessing the quality rating of the routes are as well;) Looks like a nice little area. Stoked to check it out when the mercury falls below triple digits

Comments: There is a 1 bolt extention and another anchor above the first set. Don't bother going to the upper anchor, the climbing is super easy and chossy.

Comments: The first pitch traverses left more than is indicated in the topo. A fall would likely drop you over the edge of a razor sharp arete. Spooky, maybe consider double ropes. The climbing is slightly contrived but the third pitch roof is great. At the top of the route make an easy left traverse to the base of the money pitch on Stifflers.
Edit: Ok, "razor sharp" is a bit dramatic, but it's still sharp enough to wreak havoc on the cord, IMO

Comments: I don't really like having to do any of the hard moves. Can we drill this entire wall down to 5.9? It would be way more convenient for me.

Comments: ACCESS ALERT:
This property has new ownership. I spoke with the new owner, a friendly gentleman who informed me that climbing is not allowed on the property due to liability concerns. He did say that a company called "White Pine Touring" occasionally leases out the land for climbing. He also mentioned that he really wanted nothing to do with climbing at all but that it brings people through the property. The property's new name is Louland Falls.
