BETA PHOTO: Minienticer (5.9), Minimum Wall. A fun route!
Description
Start just left of a deep chimney on a dark face. Climb easy 5th class past a couple bolts to a long face that gets steeper about 2/3 the way up. Climb past the steep section (crux) and finish at two bolts. Climbers with good footwork won't get that warmed up on this route...if you are climbing the 12's around the corner that is. However, an excellent and long route on its own.
Location
On the right side of the Minimum, uphill from Afterglow
Protection
Many bolts (12-14 maybe?) to anchors with biners on them, but I'd bring two draws as backup - many biners at Maple are quite worn.
This is a very fun route that will test your endurance at the end. Most clips will be made with left hand, so expect your right arm to get very pumped. Keep in mind that cobbles can pull at any time on any of the routes in the area. I pulled a cobble before clipping the first bolt. I made a pretty good landing after falling roughly 10 feet to the down slope. Unfortunately, another group's crag dog got spooked and nipped my leg, adding insult to injury.
