Pg. 52, Route #12,
Project. Now called Zeal 13b, FA
Johnny Goicoechea circa, spring 2001.
Relativly easy climbing to a ~V8 boulder problem. 2 stars.
·
Pg. 52, just to the
right of route #3, Jude 24, is the start of Deathmatch 2000 12c. It goes up straight for 2 bolts, then
traverses right across Fat Boy, and Flusher, to a set of chains just to the
right of the chains on Death Fall. Very
juggy and pumpy. 3 stars. FA Bland, spring of 2001.
ROCKS OF SHARON
DISHMAN
- Crossing a Dogs Path 12d,
FA, Grady Roberts circa 2002. A
bolted line that starts on Free Installation, but traverses left along a
rising but horizontal seam. It
connects to the jug ledge at mid height on The Dull Sickle (Hair of the
Dog), then continues traversing left to the anchors of #23 which is still
a project. The seam has a powerful
sequence in it as does the last bit on the project. Cool temps (say sunny Feb. day) really
help out. 3 stars.
- The Cats Meow 12c, FA.
Grady Roberts circa 2002. Like
Crossing a Dogs Path, but at the jug ledge, finish on The Dull Sickle
(Hair of the Dog). If you hate the
nasty start of Hair of the Dog, this is a good alternative. 2 stars.
- To the right of Slave Labor #27 is a new 11b called Dead
Vermin. Either Bill Centinary or Russ Schultz did the first
ascent. Ends at the chains of Slave Labor. 2 stars
- Route #7, project, is now 12c, and called Been Around the Block,
FA. Grady Roberts, 2001. This thing has been chipped, filled in,
had an artificial hold on it that was broke off, etc. Hence the
name. A good route but somewhat awkward and strenuous. 2
stars.
- Route #4, Stay Tuned 11a, is no longer A0. May be a bit
harder than 11a.
- The flake that was held on with the metal strap
under Rock 106 has fallen off.
Rock 106 is now 12c and Klingon is 11d. The start is quite powerful for these two routes.
GRANITE POINT
- The dish (a.k.a The Perkins Route) Mark Polinski did this route in May of 2007 and
called it 13c. Congrats and check his 8a.nu score for comments.
