The Spring (P1)
Description
Excellent corner climbing with a well-protected crux. The lower part of the route can be tricky to protect well. While the crux is turning the rooflet midway through the corner, the moves at the top of the corner has its moments!
There are two more pitches to the cliff top, which up the route's overall rating to 5.10. Also, a variation to P1 climbs the face and arete to the right of the corner at 5.10X ("Manly, Yes, But I Like It Too", FA 1985, Franklin and Mills).
In early season or after a larger rainfall, the namesake water flow spouting from the base of the route can be several feet high and wide. You may be able to traverse in to the corner, but - maybe not.
Location
The obvious left-facing corner right of The Winter, and 50 feet right of Bold-Ville.
Descent: a bolted anchor, which serves as a common anchor for the Seasons, is on top of the block where the first pitch ends.
Protection
Standard rack.
