Steel Gray

Steel Gray is a good route with an interesting and height-dependent crux at the second bolt. Shorter folks might find the scrunch problem of establishing high feet at the crux eaiser, but taller folks can reach left to the arete there more easily. Nobody gets a free ride (upward, that is).

Good stone, good moves, and clean rock set the tone here, and the route is surprisingly fun. For that matter, it is also somewhat difficult for no longer of a route than it is. Step up off the ground with a set of slings and cams, and plug your way upward. Clip the 2nd bolt, and awkwardly negotiate your way over the little bulge to get established on an awkward set of knobs with no handholds above them (fun and sequential)   Regardless of the path, the assigned grade of 10c felt a bit sandbagged.

Continue onward past a 3rd bolt and then an overlap (cam possible but perhaps not needed) and then onward to the top, passing 5 bolts in all before reaching the bolt and chain anchor as for '

5 bolts and a cam or two lead from the ground to the fixed anchor as for '

flake by a few meters.

5 bolts, bolt & chain anchors, and a possible cam or two under a flake up high.
