Description 

Suffering by comparison with the much better routes on the Sanford Wall, Grey Matter is also a little sandbagged. The tree that leans inches away from the rock is awkward to avoid as you climb, and in places tempting to use as part of the climb.

Starting below a right-facing arete, follow the corner past bolts and a hollow flake to the top.


Location 

Sanford Wall section, at the far right end of the wall, where a tree grows close to the rock.


Protection 

3 bolts, bolted anchors.

Missing a bolt (or 2) at the bottom. Maybe 25 ft. to the first available bolt.

Concur with Lid. As of Dec 17, 2o10 first bolt (or two) was missing. As such, dont think this route gets much action.

Bolts are back. Not sure why you would want to climb it though.
