6. Jumble Hotel
Description
[Edit]Top-rope easy to set up for short routes, most sections less than vertical. Variety of non-steep moves, with blocks.
Between Devonshire slab and Puzzle Palace crag.
Top-Roping: To set up a top anchor, traverse right (East) almost to the base of the Puzzle Palace crag. Scramble up the steep left-trending gully (careful of loose sections) on the left side of Puzzle Palace, then horizontal Left (SouthWest) along the top of the cliff.
warning: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
As of 2017, there are at least two large heavy perched rocks which seemed stable when we tested them once. But with future freeze-thaw and weather erosion, any large rock might become loose and perhaps disastrously fall on a person or equipment underneath. So be sure to re-test any rock before relying on it for significant weighting or grasping.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2015. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).Italic Text
