The Climbs

Lacey and I started at the Substation Rock area first as it is the first thing that you come to. We climbed a route that I have done many times before that makes a good warm up. The other climbs look steep and intimidating and I would love to try them out! Maybe next time.

Homo Erectus, 5.6**

This route starts steeply with good move and then quickly eases as the angle lessens. The rock seems to hold a lot of slopers which make this route seem harder than it really is.

Absolutely Nothing, 5.9**

I've done this route a hundred times! It still has some good moves though. Climb up the middle of the wall using an undercling and good face holds to get over the bulge. The slab above has great crimpers.

Sobriety, 5.9*

Kind of a weird route. Bolts seem to be placed incorrectly? Just left of Absolutely Nothing.

The Black Caboose 5.10a*

This climb has always been difficult for me. Pulling over the roof and onto the slab, wow! Scary! I have tried to pull the roof on the left and on the right and straight up! Every possible way is pretty tough for me. Who knows? Really fun climb though!

5.10a***

This is a new route that is located on the ever steep wall to the right of all the 5.9's (To the right of The Blockhead, 5.10a). I would call it a 5.10a probably but not sure what it is actually rated. Great steep climbing with awesome bucket holds. Pretty pumpy!
