Next route right of Gilgamesh. Begin with twenty feet of moderate climbing to reach a large hueco. Exit out left and up onto the overhanging gold face with a less prominent spine than Gilgamesh yet still great climbing. It's the Red so again expect a tough move going for the chains.
Moves: Tufas
Descent: Chains
Stays Dry: Light rain

In the midst of moving the 7th bolt, so as of 3/16/2011 there are 2 bolts there. Both are good to clip so take your pick. Will be removing the lower one soon.

Pretty solid 11c Dustin. Good route :)

Broke the right hand sidepull/undercling that made the crux anywhere near 11b. At least 11c/d is my guess. Great route.

hm... trying to figure out which hold you mean. Below the last bolt or above it?

I didn't notice the broken hold, the sequence through the crux is still the same for me (at 6'3").

Highlight of the day, great route! Took 2 goes to figure out how to work that spine, but what enjoyable and rewarding climbing. Loved it!

Superb climb and will get even better with a little more traffic. The moves around the spine are fantastic. This is the route to do if you don't have any endurance. You can get no hands about 15 ft all the way up. Thanks for putting it up Dustin!

The moves at the top are pretty cool! The crux felt harder than Grumpalump for me, and I will try to get someone else hang the draws in the future. I am not quite sure how I would have hung the 5th( I think ?) draw, if I didn't have a frog draw on me.

This one could use a little chain and a quicklink at the anchor if anyone's in the mood

If you're there in January, odds are you're a local. Maybe you could be that guy?

what's wrong climb2core, can't part with any of that chain from your gimp dungeon?

Pfft, this is Dustin's line. I got my own list of crap to fix up.

Crap is right, a grinder and some sand colored epoxy should keep you busy all winter.

Grinder? C2C's bolts usually fall out on their own.

will there be any record of which routes supersafeian "fixes"? be nice to have a watch the fuck out list.

You obviously don't bolt, help out with rebolting or contribute your time or money for fixed gear in the Red. And this I know because those who do aren't afraid to say whatever they need to say in person. Probably a Trump fan too. #growsome

Damn, this thing whipped me again. Hadn't tried in a couple years and it's just as hard as I remember.

This would probably be 11a but we tagged 11c on it so we didn't have to hear you cry. Better luck next time you're on this coast chiyram (or maybe stay over there?)

SuperSafeIan, you should look up irony in the dictionary ( a book with word definitions). It's nice that you are so brave and transparent. While you are chewing on that, would like to take the time to thank you for setting the bar so low in all that you are and do. It really makes all of us look and feel so much better about ourselves.
