Save the Shrimp

This route has friction, cracks, traverses, overhangs, water grooves and more and is an absolute blast. There are some areas where the route is run out, but at most of the critical areas there is sufficient pro. You can easily exit the route at pitch 2.

Pitch 1 is primarily friction - 5.7Crux

Pitch 2 is friction, a dihedral crack, face climbing and overhang finish into a cave-You can walk off the route from here if desired. Crux5.7-5.8

Pitch 3 is 3 progressive overhangs with great rest points - Crux5.8

Pitch 4 is friction - Crux5.8

Pitch 5 starts with a 15ft crack to a water groove and then huge ledge - Crux5.8

Pitch 6 starts with a overhang off the ledge and then follows a water groove with face climbing, ending with another overhang and face climbing. - Crux5.8

The crux of the route is about halfway into the route transitioning from the lower face to the upper face. The 4th pitch has a traverse with little pro (at least back in the 80's). I would assume by now that some bolts have been added to key areas of the route. The entire route was originally done with sparse pro, sparse bolts, tricams and stoppers. Modern gear makes it much more enjoyable and protected.

Approx 150 feet along the first remants of cliff on the trail that goes to the main face. You will go past a gulley that goes up the left side of the face. The exit is approx 150 feet below the trail that is on the top of the mountain. There is the remnants of a trail through the trees at the top. Take the main trail down to the parking lot.

-Full rack of cams

-Plenty of small tricams

-Full rack of stoppers

-Long slings

-Cliff hanger with a water bottle to protect part of the pitch 4 traverse

-Do not know the statis of the bolts currently on the route.

-Full length rope and second rope if you have to rap off.
