Description Suggest change

A S'Platte ultra classic, "Topo" is simply not to be missed. Start near the center of the face, to the left of the Bishop Jaggers crack.

P1. Climb a slab with three bolts to a bolt anchor. The crux (5.9+) is turning the little overlap at the first bolt.

P2. Angle up and right past many (6) bolts to a bolt anchor right of a big arch (exciting 5.9).

P3. Continue angling up and right to another bolt anchor.

P4. Climb the "laboratory safe" centerpiece pitch past 13 bolts (5.10), fighting the burn in your calves. Bolts to Somewhere is the lefthand line.

Rap the route.

Protection Suggest change

This is an old school bolt route: expect long runouts. The bolts have now been updated. A light rack is a good idea. 6 bolts on P2. 14 bolts on P4.
