Jay at the thin crux of Javalina. PHOTO BY HILLARY...

Description 

Nice positive holds (though it seems like some have broken), gets easier and funner as you go higher and swim through steep plates. Fairly exposed start.


Location 

Furthest-left route on the wall. The belay bolt is strongly suggested. You COULD also belay from the ground if you really want to but the tree branches get in the way.


Protection 

Bolts, chain anchors.

Anyone else done Javelina lately ? Looks to me like a hold broke recently and it feels like 5.11 now. Or else I missed something.

I think you did miss something. I did it this weekend and it felt 5.10. Though I think that a back-step at the crux is crucial to keeping the grade at 5.10.

jbak,
I did this a few weeks ago. Seemed like all the old holds were there. I always thought is was hard 5.10 though, with a tricky crux bit.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'm either weak or stupid. (I know... you're thinking "both".)

Javelina is the one furthest to the left?
I usually believe, if I can red point it then it's easier than 5.11. The route just to the right of it, Saguaro, is rated easier but felt harder. I might call that one 11a.

jbak , I know your not weak but you just can't think unless your horizontal on a climb. This vertical stuff is just to...well... vertical.

The crux of Javelina is harder than any move on Saguaro by a couple of letter grades, in my opinion.

Steve, maybe your a 5.11 climber and just don't know it yet.

jbak, I had trouble with javalina last time I climbed it, despite having onsighted it several years ago. I also wondered if something had broken off -- around the 2nd bolt, if memory serves.

Did this one yesterday for the first time. Seemed like there was one move of 5.10+.
