Behind the Green Door

Description

High angle slab climbing with dicey smears, balancy weight-shifts and multiple highsteps is what you'll encounter on the way to the anchors on this route. Though short, this climb has a lot of quality moves and makes a good route to do after warming up on Caligula to the right.

The name comes from a 1972 Mitchell Brothers skin flick featuring Marilyn Chambers (the former Ivory Snow Girl). A nice sunny location, few to no crowds and a relatively short and easy approach make this a route to check out instead of waiting in line (once again) at Echo Rock. Two stars out of five.

Location

High atop the Mounds formation, on a blocky section dubbed the Porno Block, is where you'll find this short, southwest-facing route. Approach via slabs from the right (southeast) to reach a spacious ledge system at the base. This is the left of two bolted routes.

Protection

3 bolts (5/16"), bolted anchor/rap (3/8")
