Car Stud 

This is an excellent granite friction route. The climbing is easy near the cam placement. Crux is right at third bolt and requires two thin friction moves. Fun finish to anchors. Three stars for this moderate sport climb on clean rock.

Fun climbing with one or two .8 friction moves to easier climbing above.

Checked out the new bolted area on Turret Dome on Sat. We saw the 5 bolted routes. This "Unknown 5.8" is the second from the right. To the right is Sloppy Shoes (5.10) which shares anchors with this one. Heading left is the 5.9. These three are all in one area. The next two are up a steep gully, which ends at Guide's Route.

The description above is correct - 5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with lower/rappel-friendly oval links. Good climbing and good bolts.Bring the #2 Camalot. Total height of this route is about 60'. You could scramble to the anchors of the 5.9 from the top. The next route after that is way further. We TR'd the 5.9 without changing the anchors and had a MAJOR sidepull toward the top - it'd be better to just move the anchor. Good Stuff.

One last thing: between this route and the adjacent 5.9 to the left, just below the anchors, is a spare bolt. I don't know what it's for, unless you want to use it to climb from one climb to the other.

The name of this climb is Car Stud 5.9. Put it up with my wife in 2000.

Referring to the description provided - this is a mixed-pro climb for a lead; not a runout sport climb.

Good climb. Bring the #2 cam, otherwise it is well protected by the bolts. As of Sept 2010, the bolts and anchors all still look great. Thanks for putting up the route, Bill!
