Rocco's Corner

Now that you have become comfortable on Indian Springs' great, mostly bolted face climbs, you decide to try out a trad 5.9. This climb will truely test your crack climbing techniques, ability to place gear in awkward and difficult stances, and then test your head on the runout face climbing to the anchors! After scrambling up some class 4 rock you will find yourself on a great platform (with some shade on the right) with the obvious corner/crack above. Step up right and onto the face and then step left to just below the corner. Climb the corner past the bulge crux. Make sure you place a few good pieces in the thin crack above as the runout face to the anchors is quite hard. This is a great route but feels a full grade harder than other 9's in the area. This is mostly due to the fact that it requires completely different techniques, is all trad, and has a technical runout face section at the end.

This route is completely trad where a good selection of small to medium cams and stoppers is required. A two bolt anchor awaits on top. 20' of class 4 scrambling gets you to the very top of the cliffs.
