Mike R. finishing up a great day at Area 37 with B...


Description 

After passing a bulge low down, follow 6 bolts angling leftward on a slab to an anchor below the high roof. The easiest line is not obvious. This climb has more pockets and smaller holds than others at Area 37, but isn't as steep.


Location 

30' right of Cherry Pickin' on the right side of A37.
A photo showing the route is on the FA's website


Protection 

6 bolts to 2 bolt chain anchor

Well bolted. A good addition to the wall.

I don't know why, but this is one of my favorite climbs at A37, or even Los Conchas area. Varied moves that are technical enough to keep you thinking, good rests, and a final crux!

I don't know what it is but this route seemed harder than I anticipated, though I expect its just one of those that is not conducive to my climbing ability/level. Less straight forward than other Area 37 routes in my opinion. Oh yeah, if you use the "tramway method" to get your draws on the way down, watch that last one. I took my brother for a ride when I unclipped the last bolt. Very exciting.
