Hot Rocks

Description

20 feet of slabby climbing leads to a high first bolt that should be in reach from good underclings. Consider a stick clip, or at a minimum don't blow it. A powerful boulder problem guards access to the face, and then techy climbing on good edges and generally positive features lead up and left to the arete. A second boulder problem, this more technical than powerful, is encountered prior to the airy finish. Consider a #0.4 or 0.5 BD sized piece of gear for your first run to the chains.

Hot Rocks is a route with great movement and nice rock, and it doesn't get the traffic it deserves.

Location

Just left of

Cornered Again

, Hot Rocks ascends the left face and arete of the clean panel comprising the downstream/eastern face of The Crystal Tower.

Protection

I believe there are 9 bolts.
