markwebster Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 At the base of endless bliss there is a seam on the left, almost an open book. There are bolts going up and right of the seam (which is sometimes wet), as well as a bolt line going up to the left. The route on the left is vertical to bulging with some nice reachy moves, and a heel hook, but it's only 5.9. Endless bliss goes to the right of the seam and the first 20 feet can be wet this time of year. It's still very climbable as there are some deep jugs leading up to the first of some 16 bolts. I met Leland Windham up there (he put up the route) and told him I thought it was the best 5.9-10a bolt climb in the state. It climbs stellar rock with very nice little ledges, and a plethora of bolts. Even if you are rusty you can always get up it as it's just so darn safe with all that hardware. Reminds me of "Slender Thread" (peshastin)...but ever so much safer. http://www.deceptioncrags.com/FarSide/GunShow/index.htm Quote
