Route left of Armadillo @ the Zoo

Post by Dirtbag1 »

Does anyone know the route just left of Armadillo. I don't think it's Chimp. I cross-checked the description in the guidebook and nothing really fits. Just to the left of Armadillo there are three routes, but the guide only describes two...? So grade and/or name would be greatly apprieciated.

It's probably Edgehog 5.10c. Check the online guide.

The printed online guide is what I was using. The guidebook says that Chimp is 125 ft. left of the dirt ramp to Armadillo, and that Edgehog is left of Chimp. This route is more like 45-50 ft. past the ramp. It's a dirty bulge at the bottom leading to thin slab, then a bulge to more slab and then the finish. But if you're right, what is the third route in this section that isn't desribed in the guide?

I believe it is called Jailbird and is something like 10c, but I could be wrong. I think that Team Safety put it up a few weeks ago.

You may be right, it seemed fairly new and the guidebook says Edgehog was put up in '98. Plus it has more than 6 bolts, something like 8+anchors.

Yeah, that's it. When I was on it, it was still pretty dirty, but seemed pretty solid. It sort of fits into the pattern for all of the routes on that side of the zoo. A few hard moves at the bottom, then finishes with some pretty easy slabby climbing.

Cool. I think Put Me In the Zoo and Armadillo are both pretty cool slab routes. Sounds like a good addition to the area.

Yeah, it's nice having some decent moderate routes at a crag that isn't so busy.
