Ascent Notes for: Cotton Candy - 5.6 popular Average Rating : 3.73/5

ok

Climbed this to take some pictures from the anchors at sunset, great view.

Excellent way to try night climbing with headlamps. Tricky start, but it's like climbing a ladder after that.

Once again we are not able to properly name the route we climbed. We were looking for cotton candy, but wound up somewhere else. There were 4 nice routes near a crack about 4 climbs right of cotton candy. Left was about a 5.10. 3 groups climbed this. Middle was a dirty crack noboby was climbing. Then the route we climbed twice, had some bolts and top rope anchors. We failed to make it to the top on our own, some nice young lads lead it for us and once a top rope was set we both climbed it. Amazing what a little security will do. The route was noteworth because all of us had a tough time with the first 10 feet.

did it barefoot for a warm up rock was a little cool

I have done a 5.5, but never a 5.6--plus everyone seems to like it.

The start is a little thin for what I would think a 5.6 should be, but the rest is a dream. Great beginner route, but I thingk I would have to climb something else for a proper warm-up.

Another route labeled with a brass placard screwed into the wall.

8 bolt; 2 anchors.

chicken heads!

this was a fun route to warm up on

Nice easy climb to start beginners on.
