Access Issue: Rebolting Complete! Details

CA State Parks officially reopened Big Rock to public access April 28th, 2018. After months of effort 53 anchors and 232 bolts have been upgraded to 1/2" X 2.75" stainless steel Powers 5-piece bolts and rings.

Description

Lead Boogaloo 5.8 or The Roof 5.9 to get up to the anchors, or another route like The Trough 5.5 to the top and then rap down and left to the anchors.

From the anchors traverse left past Left Flake and then up the short crack. The crack dies out after about 20 feet and is filled with grass, from here you can follow the grassy crack up and run it out or traverse left 5 feet and take another flake up for 10 feet (protectable). From there head up and right to the anchors above Left Flake/Right Flake/Let it Bleed.

To me the crux was traversing left once you past Left Flake, you can put a cam in to protect a swing here. It's a real easy fun move because you get some instant exposure. Then there is another crux maybe 5 feet up the crack and then it's easy to the top.
