Description 

The Terrace is a slabby 5.8 climb with one or two awkwardly committing moves on small holds. While worthwhile, this is really the type of climb that you wire in hopes of skunking your friends.


Location 

On the left side of 5.8 Crag, The Terrace starts at the height of the land, on a manmade dirt terrace supported by rail road ties.


Protection 

Bolts with Quick-Clip lower offs. (please help preserve the Quick Clips by lowering off and TRing on two of your draws whenever possible.)

I don't recommend this climb to anyone unless the better routes to the left are taken or you need to warm your tendons up for some of the other crimp fests to the right, I wouldn't stop at this crag just to do this route.

i think you should recommend this route if you want to play a mean joke on them.... its really not fun at all... grumble grumble grumble....

Quick clips are very worn through...not sharp, and I wasn't too concerned about running my rope through them, but they should definitely be replaced sometime soon. Same goes for several other climbs at this crag...this one was probably the worst out of all the ones we climbed though.

I am just going to take this time to remind people to top-rope off your own quick draws and to have the last climber rappel, this will conserve the gear that is in place. Thank you.

Climbed this route two days ago and got took a few falls on the crux before i made it. All this talk about it being thin and crimpy is true but thats what makes a route hard... If you find the right crips and make the moves this route is great. I felt like the crux was more 5.9 to 5.10 but overall i really enjoyed it.

First half of route is straight forward, upper half is bleak, pain causing mini holds. Gave the route a R rating due to possibility of ankle hurting falls when attempting to clip 2nd bolt above the Terrace.
