Ascent Notes for: Grape Ape - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 2.89/5

Nice climb for beginners. But tough move at very top.

Does anyone know what size bolts are needed to set hangers up top? There are other routes on the wall that have the hangers missing and I would like to replace them. I brought nuts from a 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" screw and none of them fit. Are these mm bolts on the apes wall? Maybe a 5/16?

good warm up route

Tired forearms, alas I am out of shape

Good pumpy climb.

Fun little climb. A tad short though.

Fun climb. Great route to practice moves.

none

This is only the second place I have ever climbed, and the crux kicked my butt. I eventually made it all the way one time and am working on doing it more consistently. Beautiful place though, worth it just for the view!

The start can be really easy on the left getting progressively harder as you move right. The middle no matter where you start is a cake walk. The end crux can be tackled in 2 ways. When you get to the barer patch 3/4th the way up, if you move left there is a good lip to grab. More natural to grab with a left hand but try and get your right on it. Then reach up high with the left over the mound and the grab the somewhat smooth boulder sticking out of the rock face with your right and use both hands to pull up. The right side route is a bit harder requiring some quick movement through some smaller holds. Nice in the shade. But the tree blocks the view.
