It's the route that used to have the first bolt placed by Porter Jarrard at the Red. I heard it got auctioned off on e-bay for a decent return.

Rating? I don't know......'cause I couldn't climb the freaking thing without going out in the woods and chopping down a large sapling.

I wonder if he knows about that. I would be pissed off. First, why would you take that bolt out, it's like taking some of the history away from the Red. I'm gonna put in a new one.

What is the proper order of the first 3 routes at Solar Collector, from left to right?

This is what we have and I don't think it is correct:

1. Super Pinch ** 5.10d Sport
This is the first bolted route encountered when the trail meets the wall. Climb the slightly overhanging wall making
use of pinches and slopers to the anchors.
First Ascent:Rob McFall
5 bolts, 50 feet, Cold shuts, Slopey, Stays dry in: Light rain

2. Mona Lisa Overdrive ** 5.11b Sport
This is the second bolted route from the right on the main wall.
Boulder a tough start to a sit down rest. Continue up easier face to the anchors.
First Ascent:Rob McFall
6 bolts, 55 feet, Cold shuts, Crimpy, Stays dry in: Light rain

3. Green Horn ** 5.11b Sport
This is the third bolted route from the right on the main wall. Climb up to a large hueco then negotiate a way out.
Continue up the face to some anchors.
First Ascent:Hugh Loeffler
5 bolts, 55 feet, Cold shuts, Crimpy, Stays dry in: Light rain

Just about the whole wall has been modified.........since this thread is about the on-line guidebook........

What are the names of the new elimanents at the road side crag? Which holds are on, which bolts do I skip and place gear, and what anchors do I clip?

cute, Spoonman. That was helpful.

The new eliminate at Roadside is called Cratering. Only the non-chalked holds are on. You skip all the bolts except the first, and clip the anchors of the route which is 15 feet to the right. Or is it left? Three stars, baby!

Hey Sandy,
Green Horn is 11a....at best. Oh, and there is a new linkup at Roadside called Pulling AWOL.

The FA tells me Green Horn is 11b... so can all y'all duke that out? I'll make some popcorn. My biggest source of confusion is the order of the routes on the wall and the description we have of where they are... isn't it wrong? Isn't Superpinch the one in the middle? Which one is far left, far right. HELP!

Is there really a linkup of AWOL and Pulling Pockets at Roadside? It's actually named?? Who is the tard that decided anyone should care?

Sandy,
You have the order correct. From L to R, Superpinchaloaf is first, Boning Lisa is second and Green Horny is third. As for the linkup, no. That was a reference to an earlier (joking) suggestion from Power2U. And the tard? Well, uh, that would be uh, me! It's early and I have my helmet on and am DRIVING the short bus.
