Description Suggest change

Climb moderate terrain to the first bolt and then move up through a series of crimps and a couple underclings with technical footwork (crux) to reach the second bolt. Move up to the alcove and rest, the final 35 feet of this climb is some of the best rock in the refuge.

Location Suggest change

This route is just right of Rap bolters and climbs the prominent black water streak up the main wall.

Protection Suggest change

6 or 7 QD's. Anchors and Chains at top.

History Suggest change

Previously known as Tied To The Whipping Post, Tony Wilson (FA) changed the route name in 2020 to remove unintended racial insensitivity.

500 Roses comes from an Otis Taylor song and is a tribute to the beauty of the rock and the soulful experience of climbing it but above all it is a symbol of the soulful beauty of human beings treating every other human being with respect and dignity.”
