Loose block on Pink Cliff

Post by Vince » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:45 pm

The left most route (5.6), I think is called People of Size. There is a larger-than-microwave-size block about halfway up, before the crux, that supports a second even larger block above it. The blocks are climbed on as part of the route.

I was inspecting a #3 cam placement between the left of the lower block and the main wall, pulled on it a bit and the entire block shifted 1/2 inch. I didn't even want to touch that thing after that and skirted around it on the slab.

Someone with a crowbar and a roll of flagging tape could do a good service on the next rainy day and trundle the 2 blocks.
