tomtom Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 There are two bolted climbs to the left of The Big Easy on Blackstone at Exit 32. Does anyone have the names and ratings for these climbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I ran into Leland Windham up there time before last and he said he'd put it up last winter. It's the one on the far left, rated at 5.10a. I don't recall the name. It requires one yellow or red Alien for a crack section in the middle. Some guy named Dave was climbing it and was just raving about how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohm Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 The one just to the left of the Big Easy felt like 5.9 when I did it. One could place a piece between 2 bolts that are about 15 feet apart, or just run it out... Pretty similar to the Big Easy, overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Those who are familiar with Windham 5.10a's, know they are equivalent to a Darrington 5.8+ or a 5.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotterdamerung Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I thought the route felt like a 5.9. Cool rock. Needs more traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
