Ascent Notes for: Cupcake - 5.5 Average Rating : 3.14/5

Decent easy climb. Went up it to set up a top-rope for the kids. We got a 5 year old up halfway and a 2 year old halfway! Pretty cool!

So I have the 95 fold-out guide and the slabs were yet unbolted. I was hoping to call that wall 'sampsons haircut' We did the bolts then headed up the left side too using stoppers and stuff. I was glad to get aquainted via some easy routes but can definately see why a local may be upset by the bolted line. At least its safe...

Very low angle easy climbing. "Tricky" part at top with actual verticle and a little bulge. Easy walk off. Kind of want to try with no hads just for the hell of it. Will probably end up with rock rash but hey, that's the game. Good spot for taking pics too.

led my girl up it. was her first time rope climbing. great climb with harder variations you can at to it.

I learned a valuable lesson on this wall. Dont push off and do intentional falls on low angle slabs. It hurts! Dumb mistake. Luckily no serious damage.

really cool

nice route to teacher on. bolt or trad.

**comment on clipping bolts.
Listen after 3 yrs of climbing, it would be nice if you don't start upsetting folks by using your bolt clippers. If you don't like the bolts, climb it trad. Don't use the bolts. (It would be like putting lime juice on a open papercut.)

Bolts aren't needed, but probably nice for teaching PCC students.

this route is personally offensive to me. its people taking advantage of an open bolting policy to bolt a rediculous, easily protected by trad, not even good route. Man i hope it wasnt the pc students. its kind of funny how much they care about the earth and other people and yet you go out there on the weekend and a CLASS takes up every single route at the solomon wall, even the ones that they wont do/ cant do. lets try to make this amazing crag open forever, dont bolt any routes easily protected by trad. although im against it, i will consider chopping bolts in the future if near trad placements.
