Description
Other than a high first clip, this is a well-protected, short, sport climb located just a few feet left of
Lost And Found
and
Take Five
. These are on the left side of blob, on the lower cliff below the
Divine Wind
area of Blob Rock. This route is number 42 on Blob in the Rolofson guide.
The opening sequence is stout 5.11 and unprotected save stick clipping the first bolt...this felt like the crux to me. Several moderate moves bring you to an interesting layback/overhang sequence that is short but stout and weighs in at solid 5.11. You'll likely use some crack technique through here. It lets up quickly after the crux, unlike its more demanding neighbors.
I found the two routes to the left (
Lost And Found
&
Take Five
) to be more continuous and enjoyable, but this route is certainly worth the effort if you're in the area.
Protection
5 or 6 bolts, and a chain anchor. The first bolt is quite high,and the crux, in my opinion, is right off the deck, so stick-clipping the first bolt is a very good idea. Falling here, though certainly not fatal, could result in a nasty sprained znkle (or worse) for a short, little sport route...
