bosko loves barbed wire*** (5.10b)

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 5 - Worth the short hike. I've climbed this route many times. One time, I climbed it Solo using my Gri Gri- I got the idea from here: http://classic.mountainzone.com/climbing/99/misc/florine/ A little scary doing it that way though. With Cambrian Grey being #1, this is my vote for 2nd best route on the wall.

Rating: 5 - This is a fantastic route...If you don't like this route...please tell me which ones you do like-- I would love to climb routes that are better than Cambrian Grey! It's been years since I climbed this, but I think the crux is about 5 or 6 bolts up. The temptation is to go way to the left at the crux, but instead, look for a side-pull on the main bolt line.

Rating: 4 - Be sure to have your belayer clip in and stick clip the 1st bolt. This one can actually be top-roped easily by hiking around Tinker Toys wall (but be careful up there)....This climb is the narrow North-facing corner, just right of the Green Monster crack. It has about 8 bolts and about 7 holds. :)

Rating: 4 - This is a beast! An okay route if you love holding on to dime-sized holds! Overall a good route.

Rating: 5 - This is a fun climb, the roof about 8 bolts up, the route just left of Bosko loves barbed wire. Basically very easy until the roof. It's a fun place to practice an 11a move, over and over and over until you get it.

Great line, allows you to use all little of everything in your tool box...

Suicidal Yet Depraved * (5.10a)

Rating: 4 - This is the route just right of Bosko Loves Barbed wire. Although shorter than Bosko, the cruz right near the chains is definitely harder than anything Bosko has to offer.

The West Slabs (5.5)

Rating: 5 - This is a great route - I think someone (might be me) needs to GPS the Rap Stations, or at least make a REALLY GOOD topo.

What can really speed things up - run out. With the easy climbing, I placed pro about every 30-45'.

I would not start the "traverse of the gods" to the north summit, and bail half way thru. This will make for an epic climb... enough said.

Rating: 5 - This is a great slab climb with tiny holds. 1st half of route is the crux.

Rating: 4 - Great route because of the interesting moves it requires- unique.

Rating: 3 - I'm glad to read that it is "better protected" now...I definitely was confused the other day when I got to the chains without feeling run-out like I used to. Easy access.

Rating: 4 - After climbing this about 8 years ago, I finally came back to give it another try on top-rope. I previously thought it impossible, and previously thought the right flake was off-route. I have now decided the flake is fair game, and that if you wire the moves, it could be possible! :) I agree that the crux is at about bolt #2 (unless you don't use the flake, in which case the 3rd and 4th bolts are the crux at about 12b, would be my guess).
