Comments: Drove up to the trad area this morning, after (I think) a big rainstorm yesterday afternoon. The road is very deeply rutted, and quite muddy in places. Our 4WD truck had no trouble, but I'm guessing we might have had some serious adventure if we had decided to take our Forester instead. Owners of small cars beware...

Comments: Yeah, it USED to be an enjoyable 5.8, way back in summer 2007. The 5.9(+?) move at the bottom kind of ruins the character of the route. I guess that's A37 for you.

Comments: Here's the anguish-inducing hideousness I found up there on 8/1/2009:

I'd rather see a couple of bolts up there than this mess.

Comments: What's the purple sling above the climber clipped to? (I'd say it almost looks like a piton. But I sure didn't see it on the way up.)

Comments: The excellent final pitch does make the climb. More chickenheads than you can shake a sling at!

I'd say that the crux involved protecting and getting into the final finger/hand crack.

I think it could be done in two pitches (i.e. same way as the rappel). It would probably be a good test of your rope management skills, though.

Comments: Gets steeper toward the top, but the gear at and after the roof is excellent and abundant. The roof is intimidating from the bottom, but eminently doable by a calm 5.8 leader....

Comments: Per Greg Swift and Sharon Dogruel, the start for "Puddin" is the 10' crack (5.7ish) visible behind the small tree on the left side of Mark's picture. From there, head up the mellow slab (5.6, a little run out in one spot), and then up the left side of the butt. As George says, the third bolt comes just after the section of spicy bit of unprotected 5.8 slab, off to the right from the lower two.

I asked about the start heading up the easier right-facing dihedral, but they didn't have any beta on ... more >>

Comments: An excellent route! Follow the line made by the pine tree propping the wall up and the tiny pine bush directly above it. The pro is somewhat thought-provoking, but didn't require any micronuts.

Comments: Another fun variation: we aimed straight up P2 after rounding the roof at the start of P2. This variation was as wonderfully "airy" as the "aim left for the tree" option discussed above, but the climbing is enjoyable (no harder than 5.6), and there are a fair number of options for gear.
