jport Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 We climbed two unknown routes near Asterisk Pass on Saturday. More specifically, they are located on the west side of the Christian Brothers Wall. We took the trail up to "Katherine Finds an Edge" and "That First Step" on the north side of Asterisk Pass. Just above the base of those routes is a short scramble over the pass to an alcove of the west side. From here there is a bolted line on the right side that starts with several moves on volleyball-sized knobs. It feels like a 5.8(ish) route...? The second route is further left and starts on a vertical face with a thin crack. The route goes up three bolts on technical knobs then finishes on a slab with walnut-sized knobs. The start feels like 5.10a(ish)...? Does anyone know the names/grades of those routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemp22 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sounds like you're talking about "Don't Tread on Me" - 5.7/5.8 and "Iguanas on Elm Street" - 5.10b on Snake Rock. Both are just a little to the right of a 5.11 called "Golden Road" I think, and Split Image (5.12) the very obvious steep arete near a tree. I think they're listed in the Red Addendum guidebook.

fenderfour Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 That's a mighty nice choad-atar you have hemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimper Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 hemp 22 is wrong. (no offense!) the routes he describes are a couple hundred yards left of the routes you're asking about, and and at trail-level. then again i can't help you either.

G-spotter Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Isn't it "Am I Evil" and "Little Indian Princess" or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jport Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Crimper, you're right... Snake Rock is much further north from Asterisk Pass. G-Spotter... where did you find those names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markd Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 jport, i can't remember the names off the top of my head but when i get back to bend i will fill you in on route names and grades. off the top of my head, i remember them being a 5.7, 5.8 and 5.10a.
