The Slab Route

FA George Hurley, 2018

Description

Although pretty much "sewn up" with bolts, I listed this as a "trad route" in that there's at least one placement (at the small overlap) that can supplement the bolts.

START: At a small flat area by a tree, about 50-60 ft up and right of the toe of the Main Slab.  From the tree, move up a few feet on the left (dirt) then step right onto the slab (bolt) and climb up the bolt line; a gold (#2) Camalot is useful at the small overlap about 50 ft up, although other sizes would work too.

Beware, the "texture" of the rock on the 2nd half of the climb is a bit less coarse than the first half, giving the climb its rating.

Above last bolt, step right to the dbl bolt ringed anchor. A double-length (6 ft) sling is advisable if lowering-off or TR'ing the climb.

Location

50-60 ft up and right of where the climber's path reaches the Main Slab.

Protection

8-9 bolts to double bolt anchor, optional #2 Camalot.  A double-length (6 ft) sling is advisable if lowering-off or TR'ing the climb.
