The Ghetto
The Ghetto**
Approach: 5 minute hike up a slight hill (steep for crescent face).
Ambiance: ** A nice patch of old growth forest in the canyon.
Parking: There is room for a couple cars and the trailhead and several more a little further down the road by the guzzler.
Kids/Dogs: They can both run wild and their are several boulders for the little guys. I could see a dog that really likes to wander
making it back to the road, but its a fair distance away.
Shade: Some shade.
Rock Type: Granite-Good
Notes: Not a lot of warm ups.
Crescent Face
1. V1 Too Be An easy slab, to easy if you
use the features left of the crack.
2. V3* Dirty Really high start on a
slopey block, then up to a get left and
over the top, for a low bad the landing is
a little unnerving.
3. V6? Cresent Face SDS then head
left and up using the right facing vertical
rail, which start disappearing as you get
near the top.
4. V2? Short Slab I couldn't figure this
on out.
Dopeman
1. V4? Dopeman Short A hard slopey start to good rail and a top
out at the best hold midway.
1a. V6? Dopeman Same start, but top out by the tree all the way
right.
2. V3** Dime Bag start on the good crimp, and head up to
couple more then a challenging top out.
Diamond Arete
1. V5? Diamond Arete High start with your left on the slopey left
arete and right hand anywhere on the good rail.
1a. V7? Diamond Arete Sit SDS version. Start with a good left hand
on the arete and a right hand crimp.
Middle Boulder (no photo)
1. V5? The dirty left arete, doesn't look like a great fall.
2. V4** Stand start and a good left hand crimp and a low right hand side
pull and head up the cool crimps.
2a. V7? The SDS, with decent hands and no feet.
3. V7? SDS around the corner and traverse left around the arete and up it.
The Hump -Surprisingly tricky low ball boulder.
1. V3 A tricky, slopey, arete with a graceless top out. How can you pass that
up.
1. V2** From a good start hold make a tricky move around the bulge to a
sloper and head up.
1. V5** Tricky technical lowball slab.
1. VB? The right arete, I found this one pretty confounding.
Riding Dirty Boulder -Favors that tall.
1. V6? White and Nerdy Really high start and up the left side of the arete.
2. V7? Riding Dirty Start matched on the high crimp and head up to some
bad slopers then up.
2a. V8? Riding Dirty Left Same start, but traverse the slopey rail left to the
left arete and up. The feet are petty far away.
