Creekafixion

Sooo, you know that route

Rosy Crucifixion

.... Well, the CCC has got its own version now!

This is one of the most unique pitches I've climbed in CCC, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Link the first 2 pitches of

Solid Gold

to the large belay ledge.

Climb 50 feet of the 3rd pitch of

SG

. Bust right to start up

Playin' Hooky

. Belay on the ledge with the intermediate rap station in the middle of the

PH

slab.

Creekafixion P1 5.11, 80 feet.

The Money Pitch! Start from the rap station in the middle of the

PH

slab. Climb up the slab for 4-5 bolts then angle up and left to 2 bolts leading up to the giant roof on the left side of the slab. Stem the dihederal and begin tip-toeing out over the massive roof. A sequence of underclings, crimps and tenuous smearing past 3 more bolts will deposit you at a 2 bolt belay. Wild!

DON'T use a Guide or Reverso in auto-block mode. If your second falls, you will have a very hard time unlocking the device.

From here, you can either rap back to the midway belay on

Playin' Hooky

, or top out via two different 5.11 options.

It is possible to link both pitches but not recomended since you will not be able to hear or see your partner during the crux traverse.

P2 5.11-, 60 feet.

The original finish was to step right off the belay, mantle on to a sloping ledge, and follow a crumbly corner feature to the top, but with the recent addition of

Golden Hammer

, you now can take that routes fourth pitch to the top for a much more classic finish in the 11+ range.

Descent: Several rap options exist. The best option is from the anchor on top of

Spun Gold

to the

Playin' Hooky

anchor in the middle of the slab, then down Solid gold from there. Or top out completely and walk over to the

Solid Gold

raps, or 4th class scramble down to the raps for

Playin' Hooky

.

Top right side of Creekside. In between

Spun Gold

and

Playin' Hooky

.

Bolts. 10 draws and 2 runners should do.
