Description Suggest change

This is in my opinion the best route on Camelback. It is Cambelback Chossy but the bolts are in excellent condition as of May 2014. The route is a little overbolted on some of the easier sections but well bolted for the cruxes.

Pitch1: About 100 feet. 11 bolts. Crux is 3rd bolt, about 5.10a move, well protected. Rest of pitch is enjoyable 5.9. Belay ledge is on right side, off route, and easy to miss and continue climbing

Pitch2: About 100 feet. 12 bolts. Crux is on 3rd or 4th bolt. Very well protected and is about a 5.10a move. Rest of pitch is 5.9 range. Belay ledge is right after 12th bolt, about 15 feet to the right in a small alcove hidden from direct view. Do not be tempted to continue climbing for the 13th bolt.

Pitch3: About 60 feet. Mostly mid to low 5th class climbing with a short section in the 5.8 range.

Descent: single pitch rappel off Pedrick's Chimney, just like all other routes on the Gargoyle Wall.

Location Suggest change

Immediately to the right of Aerial Combat. First bolt is on the right side of the beehive crack. The route stays clear of the beehive.

Protection Suggest change

Bolted. All brand new as of May 2014.
