New wall/routes at index

One new wall and two new routes at index! also, one of the best approaches! the wall is called "the collegium" and it's located behind(west) of the flag pole on top of look out point. to access, hike to "private idaho" and keep hiking up the gulley until you reach the flag pole. once you're warmed up, hike about 3 minutes back into the woods, trending down hill heading northwest, towards the granite walls, following the faint trail, cross the dry wash and *bam* you're there. the two routes currently established are as follows, as refferenced by the picture. both routes have two bolt anchors with chains for lowering. if you want to make a day of it, you can continue traversing left(west) from the base of the collegium, for about 3min, and reach the base of "the beyond."

 

"the first degree" (yellow line) 5.10c, 33m, trad, small nuts and double set of cams (blue metolius to #3 camalot and one(1) #4 camalot, (lots of long slings))

Steep and awesome route! kind of a "mirror image" of sagitarious, lots of lybacking and even a chimney! awesome crack!! note:the crack in the start slab is prone to clogging with pine needles, so be prepared

 

"brain power" (red line) 5.10c, 33m, mixed, 9 bolts and 3 pieces of gear (#2, #3, #.5/.75 camlots).

steep sport to moderate, left leaning, slab. cool quartz pockets, to mild chicken heads with a fun stemming/chimney finish.
