In Calico Basin at Moderate Mecca, we did a climb and I can't figure out what it was.
In that awesome guide book it was listed as an A0 for the start and then I think a 5.9. The start is a roof with basically no holds, then it's easy from there.
The book listed it as a trad route, but it was bolted.
Does anyone know what climb I'm trying to talk about?

Not sure what climb it was, but I doubt it was the one in the book listed as a trad climb. moderate mecca has quite a few climbs that aren't listed in the book. It might help if you listed some of the climbs close by.

I think it was just around the corner from Ace of Hearts. Under a roof, and there are bolts going up the corner as well as on the face of this wall. The first move, if you could do it without aid, all you have is a right facing flake to grab above the roof.

Sorry, I don't think i've done that one. Perhaps vegastradguy would know, I think he's the resident expert on everything red rocks.

I know eactly the climb you're talking about!!!
Unfortunately, I don't remember its name, hehe.
I can look in my guild book(s) to try to figure it out, if you'd like.

Handen's Guidebook:
Immoderate. 80' A0 5.9
The picture shows it starting just under a roof, too.
It's not listed on MP.com
