Description
An excellent and forgiving, gear eating monster, this route is the perfect climb for the new trad leader (you also have to be psyched to haul your rack to
Notch Lake
). Remote as the
Gunks
are to Utah, this climb is the closest you'll get to being at
The Trapps
. Horizontal breaks, big solid edges, and nice resting steps get the choosy, gear and sling picker, peacefully to the top.
Starting steep, this route follows a stacked ledge system through and over nice rests to a big ledge at a two bolt anchor. Follow the obvious crack and breaks.
Led ground up with gear, this traditional route ironically became two climbers first and successful attempts at hand drilling anchor bolts.
Location
Bolt School
sits heavy on the right side wall of
Notch Lake
. This route climbs the obvious steps between
Prisoner of My Own Subsconscious
and
Size Matters Not
.
Protection
A single, double, or triple rack of whatever! You name it, it'll take it! (except your #5 or #6 bd- sorry near obsolete, dust collecting, desert cams). A two bolt anchor serves as the finish and allows a comfy descent.
