Rocket Man (view)

Rocket man is located around the corner from the mass of rocks where many people sit when not climbing at the ledges, just before the largest roof section of grand ledge. There is a lot of discrepancy on Rocket Man's rating. The old guide book calls it a (10-) others say 11+ (pretty big difference) I'd say 10d/11a is close. A bouldery start leads to a big reach to the crux, a ledge that looks more positive than it is. Move into the open book for quick rest, then finish on the right side of the open book with some crimpy slabs. One of the most consitent routes at the Ledges.
