TimL Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 (edited) Scholar with a Dollar 10c - Lower 8 Mile Buttress The Nose 10d - Castle Rock MF Overhang 10c - Castle Rock Easter Overhang 10c - Midnight Rock Z Crack 10c - Alphabet Rock Iconoclast 10c - Snow Creek Wall Debs Crack 10d - Debs Crack All super good routes for the grade. I think there is some good climbs at Pearly Gates, but I don't know the names or grades off the top of my head. Have fun.

slaphappy Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 get a guide, but... Castle rock: Crack of doom 10a Brass Balls 10b MF Overhang 10c Pearly Gates: Celestial Groove 5.9+ Pearly Gates 10b Heaven's Sake 10b Leap of Faith 10d Snow Creek: Hyperspace 10d Iconoclast 10c Outer Space 5.9 Rat Dome: Silver Surfer 5.10 Vegtables of Labor 10c Barn Rat 10+ Careno Crag: BK route 10b Regular Route10b Condo Corner 10b exotic dancer 10a A swingin' afair 10b There are other 5.10 gear routes that are classics but the crags I have listed have the highest concentration without lots of walking/driving/walking crap. Camping is available all over the Icicle canyon, unfortunately it'll cost you. It'll be hot bring sunscreen, and the Pearly Gates is probably your best bet if it's really hot, Careno probably the worst. Have fun! * Scholar with a Dollar is on lower 8-mile Buttress not upper. Tighten up, Tim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
