Thrill to a View

Description

This is the route to the right of Pumper, on the upper tier. The start is still a little dirty and needs a little time to clean up. This one is a little more interesting than the climb to the left and will require a little more technical climbing on smaller holds. There is a huge jug at the fifth bolt. Most of the climb trends to the right side of the anchors, other than the start and the fifth bolt. To get the best rock for an anchor, the bolt had to be placed to the right, making it necessary to now step over the rope to continue on. However, the rope lays cleanly and does not cause any interference. That jug at the fifth bolt is one of those hero type holds and makes what looks like a tough move a lot easier. It's really fun. The route ends before reaching the top, but there are additional anchors without rings should anyone want to top it out.

Location

Far right side of the upper tier, to the right of Pumper. Access should be made from the left side of the lower tier. Access from the right is possible but should not be used when the buzzards are nesting in the rocks. Harassment of the birds could get this area shut down permanently.

Protection

Six bolts and ring anchors on the top of the climb. There is an additional set of anchors closer to the top to allow toproping.
