Does anyone have any info on the new line to the right of Where's the Beef at Bob Marley? I can't find out who the FAs were. Thanks.

I ran into a guy working this route this summer. He said that him and mark johnson (?) put the route up and Mark had sent. This other guy said that he was leaving the route closed until he did it.

Cool. I'm on the final week for the guide and just wanted to get the facts straight. I guess I'll put it down as 5.12a FA Mark Johnson. Can anyone confirm the grade? I haven't been on it.

12a it is!

Quality route on Bob Marley Rock.

I heard some complaints about choss but I guess that is what's meant by Bob Marley rock.

I can tie one of your hands behind your back and bring you down to the 12a level. Just let me know.

I remember from last summer Mark talking about the route. His battery went dead drilling it....twice. He said he sent though. I can't remember the grade, but I think 12a sounds about right
