Route at Roadside

Post by SCIN »

Does anyone know why the hangers have been removed from the route farthest right on the Kampsite wall at Roadside? I assume this is C Sharp?

The route is a Tony Reyanaldo climb. It is listed in Johns guide as an "Unknown 10b". I don't know the whole story why the hangers are gone, but they have not been there for years. He also mentions two "off route bolts in about the same location. Then there are the bolts in the cave around the corner? Whats up with that?

Nobody knows if that route in the picture is Kampsite? Ray's trying to get the online guide accurate. There's a route to the left and one to the right of that crack. Is the route to the left of the crack Just Duet? And is the route to the right of the crack Kampsite? Any info appreciated.
Does he have a strange bear claw like appendage protruding from his neck? He kep petting it.

The route in the photo is Trouble Clef. You can just barely see Kampsight from the 3rd bolt up on the left margin of the photo.

I never got the story about that 10b. Somebody told me Tuna Boy chopped it but when I confronted him about it years later, he denied it. Initially there were a lot of complaints about the placement of the bolts and the botched stuff at the bottom. It didn't bother me that much, but they could have been placed a bit better since the crux was somewhat dangerous the way it was bolted. Stacy Temple and I had actually top-roped the route after Kampsight and C# were put in, but never got back to equipping it. It's a good route and needs to be re-bolted. I never even heard a rumor of a name for it.

That is a classic route man. Trouble Clef. I felt like I was in North Carolina or something climbing it. Thanks for putting that up John.

So, directly left of that is Kampsite, right? Where is Just Duet? I only saw 6 routes plus the chopped route on that wall.

the unknown .10 b was originally referred to as "the decapitation of larry leadfoot".

SCIN,

What you do'n back there? This area is like the Lode only inverted! Instead of grid bolted steepness with a trampled base it is grid bolted slabs with a trampled base!

I probably just don't get it :?
Lest we all forget... climbing is a mostly meaningless pursuit that we do for fun.
