pu Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Looking for a topo for this route. Nobody on da east side of the state has Sky Valley Rock available. Is the Rock Climbing Washington topo accurate? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneagle Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 This is pretty accurate. One of the best routes I've ever done. I think there have been 1 or 2 bolts added to the last 5.9 pitch that aren't on the topo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mec Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 When did those bolts get added to that last pitch? Its been awhile since I have been up there, but I remember that pitch being really poorly protected, especially when I was as tired as I was. Enjoy the route, it is great!!!

Alpinfox Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 That topo is from the Cummins guide circa '91 I think. Yeah, I don't remember those last two bolts either, just the A0 bolt. But I didn't lead that pitch, so I could be The last pitch IS poorly protected, but it's FUN FUN FUN! Feldspar edges & jugs on a STEEP face. Many people, including myself, consider this to be one of the best 5.10 rock climbs in the state. ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTriplett Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 The newer (02 I think) bolt line leading to the right, just off the top of pitch 3 is awesome! Not on the topo above, but is on a pdf that is floating around (this file also has Heaven's Gate (.11a) on it, which I also highly recommend). This climb weighs in quite a bit harder (.11d) than Lovin Arms, but meets up with the last 5.9 edge fest to the top after a great meadering natually protected .10c pitch! Check it.

Drederek Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The last pitch protects pretty well if you trend left after the old nasty bolt low down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancegranite Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 As I recall, the beta was to firmly grasp the final hold, cut your feet loose and look down. A more memorable view is hard to find, stop, relax, and enjoy the life you have chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
