Access Issue: Be respectful of, and do not climb on or around, rock art here and everywhere Details

The route Mean Mr. Mustard on the Sun King Wall has been removed from this site because of it's proximity to petroglyphs and that the area of the wall where the route was is closed to climbing. Please keep an eye out for, avoid rock art, thanks!

Description

Part of this route is in the Mojave Limestone book as Unknown. I spent the better part of a day taking off some of the biggest and scariest blocks I have ever come across. There was an old bolt at the lip that had some ancient webbing on it that looked like it had been used to bail off. The seam/crack above the bolt was filled with grass and dirt. If this route has been done before, please let me know and I will be happy to change the name, FA whatever. It's now a super nice route with good rock, after you get by the opening 20ft.

Start 30ft right of Fade to Gray below an obvious tree. Climb/stem up the first 30ft past the tree to get to the headwall split by a ledge. Pull the headwall and up the seam (crux) to great climbing up slab to anchor.

Descent: From top anchor lower to the Up the Junction anchor cleaning gear. Pull the rope, then carry on down from the Up the Junction anchor with a 70M ROPE to ground.

Location

Starts 30ft right of Fade to Grey below a tree. Described as Unknown in Mojave Guide.

Protection

Bolts. Thin fingers to hand cams for top slab. Clip as many bolts at the start with long slings or back clean a few, it will help on any rope drag at the top. Its a long pitch!
