bkplmmns's Logbook (29 ascents)

The further left from Bookends you venture, the harder the climb. I stayed close enough to Bookends that I used the crack holds there 2 or 3 times. The climb is at least a 5.9, but if you go further left it is somewhere in the range of 5.10 C or D.

I rated this a G because I top roped it. However, if you trad climb this, it is an X. I saw no protection opportunities, unless you plugged pieces into the Bookends crack.

Fun Climb.

Anchors are at the top of Bookends, and you can end the climb there. The climb, up to the anchors, has numerous protection options.

However, you can top out by climbing straight up, beyond the anchors, or traverse to the left to a small tree and up.

If you go straight up, beyond the anchors, it looks like there aren't any protection opportunities. If you traverse left and up, then you have a small ledge with a tree to wrap a runner and a crack for a small stopper. Then you can head up the wall to top out -- there are no protection opportunities on the wall though.

I would rank the first pitch a G and the second pitch a PG to a PG-13.

Both pitches can be completed with a 60 meter rope. I am not sure if one 60 meter rope will reach the ground from the very top for a abseil though. We abseiled down to the anchors, restrung the rope through the anchors and then abseiled down from there.

Rappelled in and Top Roped the Lightning Corner out. Fun climb. More like 5.4 or 5.5.

Fun climb. Three pitches. Bolted/Mixed route.

Awesome climb. Second pitch, above the two pitons, is run out. Used the pitons and two additional stopper placements for anchor at top of first pitch.

Could probably make the climb a single pitch with a long enough rope.

Great fun. Warm up or great for beginners.

Nice warm up or nice climb for beginners.

Fun top rope.

Excellent moderate climb at Rocky Face.

Nice climb. One of the best moderates at Rocky Face. High crux with exposure. Fun climb.
