Description
This is currently the rightmost sport climb at this crag. It lies across a less/undeveloped section of the cliff and ascends a bulbous arete of sorts. The position is good, the rock is
suspect in spots
, and the climbing is different than most of Clear Creek. For that, given the right mind frame, this climb makes more a nice, little adventure.
Pay attention at the start, as this is where the rock is most suspect. We cleaned off a number of rock chunks here, and the holds are a bit dirty. After clipping the 1st bolt, you move slightly left. A bungled 2nd clip could test your belayer's abilities. Well-featured, bulbous rock has you weaving a bit left and right as you stay near the arete. The difficult definitely eases after the 3rd bolt, but the highly featured rock makes one leery of roped flight.
Finally,
belaying off to the side on this one is probably wise
, since the rope knocked off rock while belaying here.
Location
This is currently the rightmost bolted line and ascends a darker, bulbous arete of sorts.
Protection
6 bolts and a chained 2 bolt anchor.
