Poker in the Rear

Poker in the Rear is a well-protected, mixed route.

It has about 30 feet of moderate climbing leading to 7 or so bolts of slabby climbing above.

The crack down the middle of the face has many places for mid-sized gear or there are a few different seams you can use on the large flake to the left, although it's a little chossy.

The guidebook has this route at 80', but there wasn't a lot of rope to spare with a 60m, so it's probably closer to 90'.

It is a little bit dirty, but it is a good route! There are lots of different ways/gear you can use at the start.

There is a variation of this route that splits off right after you get over the ledge that leads to a different set of anchors. The variation is also ~5.9 and would be a rope stretcher with a 60m rope.

From the parking area, it is on the face directly across the road. Scramble up and to the right to the belay ledge.

2-4 cams/nuts. 7 bolts to 2 coldshut anchors.
