Pitch 1 of Dromedary

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Pitch 1 of Dromedary

Rope line for Pitch one of Dromedary, at least the way I went. Several variations possible. Route continues up and out right up the face and out the v-slot in the upper right. Continue up and left from there to reach the gully with the rap station.

Unknown 5.7+

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Unknown 5.7+

This is a picture showing the start (mainly) of an unknown 5.7+ climb between Golden Earring and Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do. Taken with a wide angle lens to get most of the route, it's kind of a screwy perspective, making the bottom longer and the top foreshortened.

Step and Fetch area

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Step and Fetch area

This is a view of the wall above Golden Earring before you start the traverse (GE ends a little below the trees in the middle right). I've not climbed Step and Fetch so I'm not sure where the line goes, but it's somewhere up this face. This picture was taken from the ledge/rap station at the top of Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do/Stab in the Dark.

route start

Average Rating = 0.00/5 route start

The start of the Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do is the wide crack well to the left of the rap line in the picture. I primarily stayed in this feature; the little crack to the right was of no use to me at all. Note that the ground is actually about 6-8 feet below where the crack starts in this picture, so there is a bit of exposed burly bouldering to get to the first piece of gear.

The line above the start

Average Rating = 0.00/5 The line above the start

Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do - Looking up above the cruxy bouldery start you can see the line the route takes as it follows the main crack. Eventually the main crack peters out and you can follow a horizontal crack to the right to a new crack system that takes you to the top. Here it looks a bit like a diagonal up and right.

middle section

Average Rating = 0.00/5 middle section

Shot of the middle section of the climb. More or less done with the main crack, and traveling up and increasingly to the right. Nice rest point at the start of this section.

rap station

Average Rating = 0.00/5 rap station

Top out/rap station shot for Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do. There is a nice big ledge to hang out on up here. The rap station, is your classic Moore's deal - some fixed gear with a few steel cable loops through a ring.

rap station guts

Average Rating = 0.00/5 rap station guts

A peek at a couple of the fixed pieces comprising the rap station. I think there is one more in there too that you can't see in this picture. There is a really creepy loose green rock below this, but the pieces themselves appear to be in good rock.

the line

Average Rating = 0.00/5 the line

Pic of someone's rope line (superimposed green line) on Raise Hell. The leader was seemed a bit stressed to discover some bats in one of the cracks he was planning to use at one point so he might have gone a little off route or just skipped putting pro in that crack!

P2 Dromedary

Average Rating = 0.00/5 P2 Dromedary

Part of P2 on Dromedary, up and left of the second belay. Getting up to where I got the second piece of gear felt like the crux, although the 3rd piece is a #5 C4, which you'll probably want if you go this way. Alternate line goes out right to the arete (not shown, far right) which I'll try to get in a wide angle shot next time I'm up.

Getting underway...

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Getting underway...

Starting up A Walk in the Light. Work the hard move off the ground, move left and aim for the crack, then head up the face to the decent sized ledge.

upper flake on Unknown 5.7+

Average Rating = 0.00/5 upper flake on Unknown 5.7+

This shows the upper section of this rather long route. From the top of the wide crack start working up towards the base of the flake, following the path of least resistance and the best gear. The crack is probably 5.4ish, possibly R if you don't take wide gear or G if you load up. Optional belay at the top of the 5.4. Above, the climbing becomes noticeably more difficult, probably 5.7+ to 5.8ish. Possible to dodge left over the chasm onto the easy part of step and fetch if you don't like the look of things or the slightly dubious rock quality+lichen creep you out. Airy moves up top!
