Description Suggest change

Long and varied with 5 or 6 mini-cruxes.  Tons of fun from top to bottom!  Be sure to bring plenty of draws (21) and every inch of a 70m rope to get down.  Mildly overhanging the entire way with thoughtful face climbing, but not a burly cave route which makes it a nice change of pace for Box Canyon.  Try to say "Cobble Gobble" 10 times in a row and you will be smiling as much as you will when you clip the chains :)

Gets mid-day sun for a couple hours approximately 1-3pm depending on the time of year.

Like all new (and old) climbs in Maple, take care with holds popping as we break this route in.  It was thoroughly cleaned +/- 2 feet either side of the bolts so its best to stay on the bolt line. There are plentiful big rest holds right on the line without traversing).  Be careful of your belayer down there who most definitely is wearing a helmet, right?  If you stick clip the 2nd or 3rd bolt (and skip the 1st) it gives the belayer more mobility.

Enjoy!

Location Suggest change

Located on the back wall as you walk in the entrance corridor to Box Canyon.   To the right of the Tennis Shoe Slab and about 50' around the corner to the left of Pasties.   Starts back in a little mini-corridor.
