Christian Rock

FA Gary Hicks and Arron O'Brian, 18 Sept 1977

Description

Start from the top of Flail Out or the top of the 1st pitch of Gemstone. Follow a left facing dihedral to where it's crack pinches down (crux) just below a large chockstone. Work up past the chockstone to bolted anchors shared with Gemstone route.

Double rope rap with 60 meter ropes gets you to the ground. Two raps with a single 60 meter rope works well when using a huge intermdiate horn right at the tail end of the rope strands. The horn is slung with a loop of rope inside dull-green tubular webbing.

Location

Christian Rock is in a left facing dihedral just west (right) of the 2nd pitch of Gemstone. See a marked-up version of a photo from Monomaniac on the Gemstone West page.

Protection

Standard rack.
