Comments: The Obed area is great. Staying at Del and Marty's is a treat as well. However, the bolts on pretty much all the routes are extremely rusty and need to be replaced.

Comments: If the road is in the best shape ever, does that still mean 4x4 is necessary?

Comments: We are planning on heading there in mid January. Can someone confirm that camping is allowed, obviously not on private property. Is there a certain area that is cleared out somewhat for camping? Is there a decent water source? Also, is the land trust permit still required as mentioned in the above comments? Thanx in advance for any updates.

Comments: As the above description reduces it to 6 pitches I would suggest the following version referencing the guidebook:
Link pitches 1 & 2, so easy climbing to the offwidth (need #5 camalot but there is a chalkstone with tat halfway up) and then belay at the second chain anchor.
Pitch 3 on it's own, as it's draggy, belay at the chains.
Link pitches 4 & 5
Link pitches 6 & 7 as the belay for pitch 6 would be a gear belay and it's all straight.
Pitches 8,9,10 on their own.
Note! The final pit... more >>

Comments: 1 for sure no hander in the obvious spot. This thing needs fixed draws as it is a real bitch clean. Great route.

Comments: Super fun, we both figured 11d. Lots of good rests, plus a no-hands to get it all back.

Comments: This is a great route. You can actually continue up the crack at the top and place some more gear if you're worried about whipping.

Comments: Thin gear for sure and some HB offsets are handy as well.
Some updates: on the 1st 12a pitch, we pulled a fixed nut out so there is one at the mantel move and a fixed pin below that. On the 2nd 5.12 pitch, there is one pin at the start of the traverse. On the 3rd 5.12 pitch, there is one crappy copperhead and the finishing jugs for the pitch are covered in bird shit. On the 4th 5.12 pitch, there's no fixed gear.....
...great route!
