Southwest Rib
Description
Interesting delicate face climbing for 40 feet to a ledge. Hard crux off the ledge to gain the awesome rib feature. 105 feet so use a 70 !!
Location
There is a huge fallen tree at the lowest part of the toe of the dome (the southern-most point of the crag). It fell over just after the 2020 fire. Left of the stump there are 2 starts to this route. The right-hand start is Tony's original and it looks awful. The left-hand start was found by Josie Wodraska and it is actually pretty fun. We will bolt this start. I'm pretty sure it will become the standard start. It will have stainless steel hardware. Tony's start is plated steel. The 2 starts are about 10 feet apart. Tony's start will not be chopped, but I don't plan on maintaining it either.Both starts lead to the same ledge just before the technical crux of the route.
Protection
Going to be all bolts once we get it all straightened out. Old bolts will be replaced.Now has a real anchor (as of Nov 2020) with steel biners. Bolt locations may be adjusted to fit anchor location.
