Central Grooves

Some thoughtful moves. Too bad it's not longer.

Start up the wide crack / narrow shallow gully below big sprawling bush above top of wall . . . just left of small bush at top of wall, and a few feet left from small bush hanging over edge.

Straight up to reach bolt anchor.

. . . (a bit below top, could move left to finish at top anchor for the route "Left Face").

. . . (much harder to finish up Right to the top anchor for the route "Central Crack".

Top-Roping: This route has a two-bolt top anchor (with no connect between the bolts, and no rappel or lower-off fixture as of 2019). Or could use this route's top anchor as a directional to use the top anchor for the route "Central Crack". Or could use the bolt below top of this route as a directional for using the top anchor for the route "Left Face".

Traversing to other top anchors: To the Right of the top anchor is a facultative bolt for aid and/or protection for reaching the top anchor of the route "Central Crack".

warning

: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
