Nelson Day > The Grapevine 05 06 12

Pictures of The Grapevine area in the high desert (outside of Apple Valley). This album features a bolted 5.9 chimney route (about 80 feet long) and Getting smaller (5.10b trad). The route to the left of Getting Smaller is a 5.11a bolted line called Vector Analysis, and has the reputation for being one of the best aretes in Southern California.
Reed just before the only real rest on the route.

Grant coming up the 5.9 bolted chimney on the same rock formation. Great climb! Chimney goes for about 80 feet (maybe 90). Very sustained - it will wear you out. The last few bolts are pretty run out.
