Absolutely Billy

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 4 - Fun moves on postiive dikes -- some fun reach and balance. The bolt spacing really wakes you up. Maybe not worth placing gear before first bolt, but you'd better not fall there. The runouts seem to be on easier moves, but this is not sport climbing as I've come to know it.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 4 - Today we did the 1st ascent of a fun, new route in the Grotto. "Garden of Expectations" offers another great moderate route in the shade of the Grotto on amazing rock with positive edges, numerous pockets, and the occasional jam. The route has been meticulously cleaned and is well protected. "Garden of Expectations" is located on the south side of the Grotto, left of "Mystic River."

"commitment" seemed to be that you do not know what holds you will use above the roof but it's there and not very hard and the pro in the roof just before the move is great. Finish the 5.9 right variation - good pro and not hard either. (I led the 1st and 3rd pitches.)

East Wall

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 4 - I lead the entire route and go so lost on the second pitch had to down climb at least three times. But in my opinion if any of my variations had panned out they would have improved the route. I ended up doing the "scary exposed traverse" as the super topo calls it just because for the life of me the higher traverse was not there. It was exposed and unprotected but on jugs and no biggie. 3rd pitch we linked into bears reach and there are two harder 5.8/5.9 moves but I've lead them before and they are easily protected.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 5 - Some kinda scary run outs, i agree with most that the most difficult portion is the route finding on the 3rd pitch. I'm not sure but I think did the 10b variation or were completely off route. Also the super topo told us to only bring one set of cams and my partner ended up setting up an early belay station before the 3rd pitch ended because he ran outta gear. I'd bring two of the suggested cams.

I did my first lap with small stoppers and for my second lap I used small TCUs at the bottom which was much easier. Need at least one very small or pointed hook for a hole near the top
