Rosa May

5.10-, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2 from 3 votes
FA: ???
California > San Jacinto Mou… > Garner Valley > Prospect Wall

Description

This route is one of the furthest left on the wall and climbs a crescent-shaped chute that is bolted.  It's marked as route C on the hand-drawn topo.  The climbing is characterized by hip-scumming, stemming and a burly low crux followed by easier climbing above.  It's possible to climb with just five quickdraws although depending on where you start from you might want a cam or two for the beginning or a couple small cams for sections between bolts if you like to sew it up.  There's an anchor at the top of the route from which you can easily rappel to the ground with any rope 50m or up.

Location

See topo photos.  It's the route marked C in the hand-drawn Topo.  It is easily spotted as a crescent shaped chute in a grey-colored section of rock on the left side of the wall. 

Protection

5 bolts and optional small cams (.4" to .75")
