Otto Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Trip: Three O'Clock Rock - Revolver, The Rash Date: 6/23/2010 Climb: Three O'Clock Rock, Revolver, The Rash Trip Report: Yale and I took off yesterday and went up to Darrington on that fine and cloudy day. I tried to do the fifth pitch of Revolver but failed. We rapped off, went over and did The Rash. Yale at the start of Revolver's approach pitch. Got wrench? On the second pitch Yale on the fourth pitch Cool features up here Yale pulling the overlap directly as there is a wet streak blocking the way around to the next bolt He floated it Yale led the first pitch of The Rash with its cool flakes. Otto got the amazing Rash Then we did Dirt Circus, more on that later. We saw only one other party, on Luke. Another fine day on Darrington granite.

Pilchuck71 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Nice Otto. Great photo of the rash. I have always wanted to do that route and have just never gotten to it. Now I feel the allure all over agan, Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsloth Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 rad rash. looks cool. 5th pitch of revolver is tricky. i took a good 20 ft whipper (if it is possible to whip on slab) off the bolt under the overlap because i went right when i should have gone left. did you go back to both routes to finish replacing bolts or where you out for fun?

jshamster Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 so, i'm curious if y'all did the first pitch of the Rash, or Bees Kiss Butterflies? Matt P. & I were up there last weekend, looked at both, and decided that BKB was a better looking start. Pretty runout, but easy. Some creaky, wobbly flakes...just don't pull out. Also, as easy as the climbing is on the actual Rash pitch is, it is somewhat freaky climbing 70 ft. or so to the first bolt. Fun times. cheers jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 We did the first pitch of Flies 'n Bees, as recommended in Rattle & Slime. Fun pitch; those flakes seem solid to me. Sloth, you say you whipped "off the bolt under the overlap" - is that like the second bolt on the pitch, the one with some old back-off slings attached?
