Route additions/corrections for the on-line guidebook

Post by **goodguy** » Sat May 10, 2003 6:15 pm

Just thought I would list the existing trad lines at SC for anyone who wanted to know, just until the online guide is complete.

... The first Dihedral just past the main SC wall is already in the online guide.

The next 3 routes are as follows.

Walk right under the big roof and all the way past the Gold Coast wall. There are 2 short lay back cracks that share the same anchors.
The one on the left... "Calming Curtis" 5.8* 35ft
The one on the Right..."Liken the Lichen" 5.9* 35ft

10 ft. right of the two shorties
Striking thin dihedral, "unknown" 5.10b*** 80ft. This is a stellar line.

The next 2 routes...

Continue past the thin dihedral around the corner with 2 sport lines left of an obvious arete. You will have to walk about 250 -300 yds, keep the cliff line in site and keep walking until you see a hand crack and a finger crack that are covered by a roof.

The main hand crack is "Broken Chicken Wing" 5.9*** 55ft
about 15ft up the hand crack is were the finger crack splits off to the left.
this route is called "Rebar" 5.11*** 60ft Cool route with a nice fun finish.

If anyone knows of any other established cracks in this area please let us all know.

Hey Goodguy, thanks for the route info. I am going to change the name of this topic and make it an announcement if you don't mind.

EVERYONE: Please submit route additions or corrections for the guidebook to this thread or to me in a PM or via email to Lynne@insightbb.com. I will be adding/amending the guidebook on an ongoing basis (god help you, Ray). The info I need (since I will add your comments verbatim) is:

Name: (or "unknown" if the name is unknown)
Difficulty: 5.whatever
Danger: i.e. R, X
Quality: number of stars
Type: Trad/Mixed/Sport/Toprope/Bouldering/Scramble/Aid
Length: in feet
Bolts: number of bolts
First Ascensionists:
Year:
Descent: i.e. Cold shuts/Downclimb/etc.
Moves: i.e. Bouldery/Chimney/Crimpy/Fingers/Fists, etc.
Dryness: i.e. Does not stay dry/Downpour/Light rain/Unknown
Directions: very specific directions and route description since I will use your info exclusively.
Comments:
Gear: not so important

So Goodguy, if you can fill in some blanks on the routes you wrote up above, that would be helpful.

Everyone, submit your info exactly how you would expect to see the route written up in a guidebook.

Thanks!!

I'd like to get the trad lines in there but I'm gonna wait until I get the Gold Coast stuff put in for reference.

the first 3 routes I listed stay dry in a light rain. The last 2 listed stay dry in a downpour. All the lines are Trad. The 2 short routes FA's are Josh Thurston & Jared Hancock, 2002. The last 2 routes listed FA's are Josh Thurston & Scott Lappin, 2002. Please let me know if there is any more info needed.
