Killed by Death 5.10b  CA : San Bernardino Mountains : ... : Wilbur's Tombstone
Interesting and featured vertical face past three bolts lead to a ledge, above which the rock bulges slightly. Make some reachy moves and power up a series of flakes to clear the bulge, do a rockover and finish on slabby face to the anchors - Lemmy would be proud.The crux moves are a fairly reachy and shorter climbers may find the rating to be slightly harder than indicated....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA

Its worth carrying a couple of small cams for almost all the routes on the slabby face, since the bolts are fairly well spaced apart.
