No Place Like Home

One of the finest sport routes in all of the Red, and for that matter, anywhere. That is the reason for my choice for it to be the first one I went back for upon 'homecoming' in Y2K. The name is a great coincidence.

Climb an easy face past a few bolts and move out left onto a steep arete in the sun. Climb past perhaps 10 bolts to the anchors on smaller holds than are common in the red, using the arete frequently for hands and heels.

At the far left end of Emerald City, this steep and tall arete beckons- climb it! This is the last bolted route to the left on this crag.

Nine bolts, plus the anchors.
