Sol Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 While wandering around baker rocks i came across an old route that although it is quite dirty, looks kinda fun. if you walk right (east) from the pumphouse you first go past some bolts and a fixed line on a project, then you pass the overgrown 2 pitch route learning to fly, next, you'll pass a red tagged 3 bolt project, then finally a few hundred feet from the pumphouse there is a steep blocky route that climbs out of a cave. its pretty dirty, my geuss is mid 11-ish. its not in henrie's book, anyone know anything about this?

RyanTriplett Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Don't know too much about this, other than working and climbing it years ago (around 2001). I would say that mid 11-ish is way off, for in my opinion it was a fair bit harder than Shorty, Superbadest, etc... I remember it being rather straight forward to a cruxy move. Is Baker/Pumphouse seeing traffic these days? Pretty fun little crag ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fun little crag ... thanks for the info ryan. there's a handful of us keeping the cobwebbs off the routes at the pumphouse. bolts have been replaced at the crux's of go go and superbad. a second pitch has been added to jungle boogie that goes at 10d/11a. and a few more boulders have been scrubbed. also, the project on the right side of Shuksan crag was bolted and climbed: Weapons of Mass Destruction 5.11c. maybe i'm crazy but shorty seems a lot easier than superbad? , sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTriplett Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I don't think you're crazy at all, soft no doubt. I would say that The Pinch was the hardest and best route there if you could unlock it! Is Jungle Boogie the line between Shorty and Superbad?

Sol Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Jungle Boogie is the route at the far left end of the cliff, the easier 5.10. I definetly have not unlocked the pinch, I actually feel like i've regressed on it in the last 6 months, even though i'm a lot stronger. that's the fun thing about projects though...one of these days.
