New routes behind the outhouse - Chek

Post by 5.4 Slayer » Sun Jun 20, 2010 6:27 pm

A year or two ago I was talking to a guy who was bolting/cleaning a bunch of new routes behind the outhouse in the Chek parking lot. At the time he said they were ready to go and that he just had to send them. A lot of work has gone into this area but all the red tags are still there.
Anyone know what's up with this area?

I was emailing the man behind the crag for a while back in april, as far as I know, the routes aren't done/need to be cleaned.

I'm the guy!

A ton of the work was done last summer but this year i've busy with a new job and spent my free time actually climbing so far.

Also, my partner moved to Australia so i haven't had as much motivation yet to complete things (plus the rain keeps getting in the way)

so far completed:
-3p 10d,10b,10c
-2p 10b,11b
-1p 10d
-5.9 connecting pitch (catches lots of dirt from above)
-2p 10d,11a (but no anchor yet)

These have all been lead but need a few bolts and anchor tidy ups here and there.

still in progress:
2p mid 10ish route
3p 11+ish route

We've held off on any final cleanings and official opening because of the danger of falling rocks when we're cleaning the upper pitches. Also, dirt from above keeps raining down on the pitches below so no point doing a final clean.

I was planning on spend some time in July to finish the job and hopefully post a topo in August.

*If anyone wants to climb a few routes and help with some cleaning, help is welcomed! Shoot me an email.
