Ascent Notes for: Fiddler on the Roof - 5.10d popular Average Rating : 5.00/5

Awesome route, fast climbing.....if your quick you can even squeeze in 2 routes in a day since there so tightly packed together.

one of the best routes in red rock, outstanding climbing on every pitch, with the crux pitch being pure excellence on perfect stone. take a dbl rack to green camalot, and a #1 and a #2 with a set and a half of stoppers. large RPs come in handy to mitigate some run-outs.

this is a for sure must do. this climb is a solid 10 - i wouldn't call it an 11. p4 and p6 are phenominal. we had originally planed to do wild turkeys, but it was a gummer fest, so we opt'd for this - so glad we did. gear materializes just when you want it and its good - the route is not "very run out" - just keep a cool head. nuts and small metolius are your friends - no need to double up on anything. best route of the trip, which included levitaiton 29, epinephrine and johnny vegas to solar slab. if you're in red rocks - do this climb!

ps: this route (wall) can be descended with one rope - you will just need to traverse around a bit. we did it in 8 raps with a one 60 meter. a bit epic - but totally doable.

This is certainly my pick for Red Rocks. It's significantly better than Cloud Tower, Levitation 29, etc. The pitch above the traverse pitch is absolutely perfect!

Rapped off after P4 because it was getting dark. Stiff for the grade, I thought.

Led every pitch exept the first one on the gobbler....I think this climb is 5.10d, but I wouldn't argue a 5.11 rating....

Onsighted p1 of The Gobbler. Followed the rest. Roof traverse on p3 no big deal, but fell repeatedly on p4 crux and higher up. Windy.

Friggin sweet climb. 7 pitches, most are 5.10 I think.
